Firefox used to list the websites I visited in order in the navigation bar, now it seems to save a random selection of sites I have visited. Since there is no order to the previous sites, how does it decide which sites to list?
In older versions of Firefox, I used to be able to click the down arrow on the right side of the navigation bars and it would display the websites I had visited it descending order. Now it just displays what looks like random sites I have visited in the past. Some of which I haven't visited of several months. How does Firefox decide which sites to save? Is there a way I can make it work like it used to?

See:
That is done via a frecency algorithm that gives bonus points to sites that you have visited.
You can remove visited sites from the history to reset their bonus count.
So there is no way to go back to the old way of just showing the last visited sites in descending order?
As to a "frequency algorithm", that doesn't seem right because some of the sites that are on there I might have visited once a month ago and the ones I go to a lot and recently aren't listed at all.
