Thank you in advance. :)


Since I clear 'History' with every closure of SeaMonkey, I have no Place.sqlite
file.


If you have bookmarks, you do have one.  Bookmarks are kept there as well.

To add another way of doing the same: Under a UNIX-like system, it
should be possible to do this with the sqlite commandline tool, when it
is available. Run "sqlite3 places.sqlite", and then, inside the tool,
run the command "VACUUM;". (But close the browser before doing any of
this!)

But Seamonkey/Firefox/... will, of course, revert this to 10 MB. It is
annoying, especially when you have several profiles, as you can quickly
reach the 100 MB mark just because of these files...

You don't keep bookmarks?

I thought bookmarks were taken out of that file in SM 2.0.
Any how I found it at 10MB in all my SM profiles and also at 10MB in TOR


AFAIK, everything is kept in places.sqlite including bookmarks. I always 
copy that file to use with other SeaMonkey and Firefox installations.

I believe places.sqlite is forced to be at least 10 MB.  This was done
at the same time (around 2011) the ability of users to have the history
of visiting a Web page automatically expire after some user-set number
of days.  Now, history expires for the oldest entry only when some
excessive number of history entries are stored.

Before doing a system-wide backup, I run SpeedyFox, which currently
reduces the size to 2.7 MB.  That reverts back to 10 MB when I terminate
my browser.  I got SpeedyFox at .
