Places is due to be completed for Firefox 3.0. Until then, for UI parity with Firefox 2.0, this preference disables browser session grouping for page history in the history sidebar.

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.

Possible values and their effects

True

When “View → By Last Visited” is selected in the history sidebar, group the visited pages by browsing session and delineate them with horizontal rules.

False

Do not group pages in the history sidebar; display them as they appear in Firefox 2.0. (Default)
