Navigation Log
This add-on logs all navigation actions to an SQLite database. The source URL is logged together with the destination URL and title every time you click a link or type in the address bar. So, it is possible to recreate your whole browsing history.

This extension could be useful, but I think it needs some improvement:
There are no instructions or screenshots for the database management application. The path to the database is also undocumented, and does not appear to be user-configurable. (What if you want to store the log on a network file server?)
It would be nice to have a log player extension in the browser instead of a separate Python application, since many platforms do not have a Python interpreter installed by default. That would enable live browser mirroring for tech support and classroom applications without the need for a VNC server (which consumes more bandwidth on the host PC's data link).
It appears that Mozilla is working on a similar project and I mention it here so that duplication of effort towards the same goal can be avoided:
