Unable to View Web Browsing History in Safari on macOS Sierra
macossafari
Safari recently quit displaying my web browsing history. However, it appears to be storing at least part of my history. (See Photo 1 and Photo 2).
Safari preferences specify keeping history for 365 days.
What might I try to fix this?

Yes, I have the same issue. It started when I upgraded to Sierra, I got Safari 10.0.3. Rather than reinstall all of macOS, I'm waiting to see if this is a bug in syncing between Sierra and iOS through iCloud.
Here are details of my thinking.
Frequently Visited in Favorites isn't showing anything either.
I got a History.db of 61,6 MB in my ~/Library/Safari/ folder and I manage to see some iCloud macbook browsing history on my iPhone running iOS 10.3.1.
Saved forms and cookies are not the same thing. Cookies (for example) keep you logged in to a website, instead of having to re-log-in every time you visit. Saved forms are Safari's way of keeping text in a login form, so when you are logged out you don't need to enter your credentials again.
It sounds like you're talking about saved forms. To make sure this is working, go to Safari > Preferences > AutoFill and make sure "User names and passwords" is checked.
Isn't it just a list of sites known to request https only ?.
mine is - domains are there that I've never visited, and the list is similar to the
"// Force HTTPS for sites that have requested it" section of http://pastebin.com/WQijpvR4
