I have now also filed a report upstream on this issue:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1254645

** Description changed:

- I (and I think many other users) would find it very useful if there was
- at least an optional option upon which enabling would mean that it would
- give you a full and proper history where if you go to a page, and then
- you go to that page again, two entries will be generated instead of the
- latest one overriding and replacing the earlier one. I understand that
- this is probably currently not the case due to the fact that the history
- file will get very big, but you don't need this to be enabled by
- default, but for there at least be an option to do this. This feature is
- available in modern browsers such as Google Chrome as well, so I think
- would be a valid feature for Firefox to at least optionally provide.
