Background

Mozilla Firefox’s Places system keeps metadata about browsing sessions in history. This allows the history sidebar to group pages by browsing session as well as by last visit, which can be a useful distinction when trying to find a previously-visited page.

For UI parity with Firefox 2.0, this preference disabled browser session grouping for page history in the history sidebar.
