Ann Smarty reviews a trio of Firefox apps that allow you to visualize your search history, making it easier to go back to interesting sites you've perused during your day -- even if you can't remember the name or URL.

WebMynd, for example, gives you thumbnails of the pages you've visited in either grid or reel format. You can turn the tracking off and on at will. ThumbStrips goes one better, letting you see and search through your thumbnails, as well as insert comments about various pages for later reference.
