Why can SQLite Manager see my history but Firefox 4.0.1 cannot?

Question

Just upgraded to FireFox 4.0.1 from I forget which 3.. and have all the bookmarks (or so it seems) but the places.sqlite file (which says it was made back in 2006!) is not being consulted for the history, just the bookmarks. History shows today's work but no prior days.

See:

* SQLite Manager: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/sqlite-manager/
# Open places.sqlite
# Hit the Execute SQL tab
# Use a Select like this:
<pre><nowiki>
SELECT datetime(moz_historyvisits.visit_date/1000000,'unixepoch'), moz_places.url, moz_places.title
FROM moz_places, moz_historyvisits
WHERE moz_places.id = moz_historyvisits.place_id
</nowiki></pre>
# Click the Action button to Save the results to a CSV file
You can also select some records and use the right-click context menu to copy the selected records as CSV to the clipboard.
You can also create a Temporary view:
# View > Create View : [X ]Temporary Name: Enter a Name for the view
# Use the same Select as above
# View > Export View : Database > Temp
