If one needs to know when some website has been visited in Mozilla Firefox then go to the default directory and open the places.sqlite file:
1cd ~/.mozilla/firefox/<xyz>.default/
2sqlite3 places.sqlite
Issue below SQL command
1select visit_date,
2 datetime(visit_date/1000000, 'unixepoch','localtime') as S
3from moz_historyvisits
4where place_id in
5 (select id from moz_places where url like 'https://www.google.come%')
6and S like '2019-01-2%'
7order by S;

Added 30-Jun-2019: Interesting comment from Ronald Scheckelhoff from 19-May-2019 on caching DNS entries of previously visited URLs.
... could use this database to collect an overall sample of my web surfing habits, and then plug that data into something like the Unbound DNS resolver to do my own DNS lookups for the places I usually visit. I was doing that with Squid, but it has some limitations for my situation. Maybe this is better (plus, I don’t have to use Squid).
