Q: Incomplete history file...How to find "all visits" to a website in Safari, not just "last visit"?
Safari unexpectedly shut down and when I tried to open up the last session (which had various tabs), some of the tabs showed up with "untitled" in the header, and a blank URL address. I searched the history, but there was nothing related to the untitled tabs (only the tabs that successfully loaded made it to the history). Since this wasn't the first time I had to open up the last session with these same tabs in it (had to do it about 4 or 5 days ago or so), I thought I'd search the history to find Safari's second-to-last attempt at loading all the tabs (websites) when they all loaded correctly. However, Safari seems to only be storing the "last visit" to a particular website. i.e., If the same website is visited multiple times on different days, it only stores the day of the last visit.
Questions:
1) Is there a setting where "Last Visit" can be turned off and "All Visits" turned on?
2) Is there a file (.plist or something else) that would have the information I'm looking for?
3) Do you know of any web browsers that actually store "All Visits" in the history that you would recommend? (I'm getting tired of Safari's many limitations)
Thank you.

1. No.
2. If you know part of the address to a site that didn't load this time but did load before, the rest of it may be further back in the history. If you have a backup of Safari's history files, those may also contain it.
3. No.
