Browsing history won't sort in correct order.
When I open the "Show all history" library, instead of showing sites I've visited at 2am first, it shows entries from 21.xx. (As seen in attached picture.) I have selected "sort by most recent visit", "z to a", and tried other options as well, but none of this fix it. Same problem when clicking the History button in regular browser view: It doesn't show the n number of last visited pages, but the sites from the top of the browsing list, which have been opened after nine pm. Restarting won't help.
How do I fix this?

For the Library dialog:
When you click that column, the initial/default sort order is "descending" (most recent first). To reverse the sort order, you have to clicking the heading a second time. The triangle should switch from pointing downwards to pointing upwards. Does that work on yours?
For the History menu:
There's no way to change the sorting on the menu, as far as I know.
Hi, this does not solve the problem, as the tabs opened at 21.xx are still misplaced no matter the sorting order. Peculiar.
Misplaced in the sense of sorting "alphabetically" instead of "numerically"? For example, alpha sort would look like:
1 10 2 20
instead of
1 2 10 20
Yes exactly, which is inconvenient for a date-related column... The picture illustrated the point almost nicely, just not how it continues after the 21.xx tabs, sorry about that.

My Library shows AM/PM times and they sort correctly. How did you get the "military time" displayed in the Library dialog. Is that a system setting or a Firefox setting or an add-on feature?
System setting, in Finland time is presented in 24h format and not the AM/PM style. The issue has now corrected itself somehow due to browsing more and time moving forward, but this has happened twice before.
Hopefully this isn't a problem for everyone running the English U.S. version with Windows settings for European time. Someone must have tested that?? Maybe I can try it this weekend, although I worry about confusing all my Windows apps...
