Because my studies make me jump from one source to another with dozens on the screen at a time the history screen isn't always the greatest help for me.
I am typically able to remember at least a brief phrase from the article. At that point I do a global search on "The words I'm looking for" and voilà, it's usually in the first ten or so.

If you have the problem of wanting to open a tabbed resource in a separate window for further examination but don't want to mess your layout up, just use 'History' and right-click into a floating window. Duplicating a tab won't pop you into a window. (Unless .... there's ANOTHER way which someone knows about!) The other nice thing about this method is that it doesn't carry the tab-link with it (e.g. you can move around the resource without impacting your layout).

Nice tip Denise, worthy of your putting it on the wiki tips page.

Does history sync across devices?
Yes, at least computers running Mac or Win L4. I can't answer about other (iOS) devices.

If I come across something I want to remember for later, depending on how long I want to remember it, I might either mark it with a bookmark (for temporary things that I might want to come back to in this session), or else I'll drag it to a folder in my Favorites. If it's something very relevant for the major areas of research I tend to do, I will drag it to the folder specific to that topic. Otherwise I might drag it just to a folder for useful bits of info to come back to someday.
If I didn't happen to store a location somewhere for recall at the time, and then later I want to find it again, then yes sometimes I can use the History window to at least remind me what resource it was in, and then open that resource and Ctrl+F to find the spot if I'd jumped around in it quite a bit. But the current organization of History (without any ability to sort by resource or search within it) makes it tough to use.
Also, usually I'm able to recall a litle something about the path I took to find the information in the first place, and I can repeat that search or go back to the resource that had linked me to it, and find it again that way.
