Firefox History

53 New Member
Hi,

I am using the following code to get Internet Explorer filepath to display history list.
filePath1 = Environment.Get FolderPath(Envi ronment.Special Folder.History)
by using the above path i am getting only internet explorer history list.
Please anyone can give suggestions how to get Firefox history list?where it will store these data?
And one more doubt what is the meaning of Computer list in firefox history?
Thanks in advance

You will have to check with FF as to where they keep their browsing history, if they keep it accessible at all.

This isn't a simple task.

I believe that they changed the way they store their history from version 2 to version 3, so you will need different methods. And in FF 3, the bookmarks and history are stored together.

The files are located in this folder:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile name>\bookmarkbackups
  2.  
And the files are .json

Good luck with this. They don't store their history the same way IE does.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.
