Firefox extension to view/browse history in a 'better' way

Question

Google Chrome has a handy extension which allows you to browse through your history in a better way: Better History (Chrome Web Store page).

Its main features are:

• Filter your browser history by day
• Filter your browser history by hour
• Search history with regular expressions (RegEx)
• And, last but not least, view your history in a more appeasing interface (compared to the default chrome://history page)

Unfortunately, Firefox's history manager lacks most of these features, and it just looks plain ugly (IMHO). In addition, having to open a new window to view the full browser history is just plain counter-productive; I'd prefer to view my history in a tab, just like Google Chrome (and Chromium browsers in general).

So, I basically want an extension similar to "Better History", but for Mozilla Firefox. At the very least I want to be able to view my history in a tab (I already tried about:history, doesn't work); the other features are optional, but desired.
