I was really waiting for someone to say something like that. I noticed that the
original expression did not result in any action in the error console and really
needed someone to point out that some elements in that expression is no longer
valid as of SM 2.46. If we could rework that expression to something that
evaluates to an action for SM 2.46 onwards, that would be useful, even though
the use of the error console to clear browser history by number of days is a bit
beyond the average end user's interest / capability to handle.

Even before it was implemented, many end-users expressed negative
opinions about removing the capability to expire browser history in
terms of the age of the history entry.  Many of those comments appeared
in the Mozilla Wiki that proposed and explained the change, but all
those comments were deleted (by the author of the Wiki who was the
developer of the change?).

Over 5,000 users downloaded the "Expire history by days" extension,
which will likely be broken by bug #1261313.  This creates an urgency to
implement bug #1246424.  See
.

I am using PrefBar 7.1.0 with SeaMonkey 2.46.  HOWEVER, that is for
other PrefBar capabilities.

As I indicated earlier, I switched to using the "Expire history by days"
extension.  It is version 1.2.0 converted at
 for compatibility with
SeaMonkey.  The extension's current version 1.2.1 cannot be converted
successfully.

[snipped]

I use the "Expire history by days" extension because it works
automatically and does not require my manual selection of a PrefBar
button.  "Expire history by days" has an option -- reached through its
entry in the Ad-ons Manager -- to set the number of days of history
retention.

Seamonkey 2.46 browser history manual deletion expression

2017-01-03 Thread User


Prior to upgrading to SM 2.46, I have used the following manual workaround shown
on comment 7 at this Bugzilla bug record below to delete browser history but
preserve the most recent 30 days:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=660646#c7

Using this expression:

Components.classes['@mozilla.org/browser/nav-history-service;1'].getService(Components.interfaces.nsIBrowserHistory).removeVisitsByTimeframe(0,
(new Date().setHours(0, 0, 0, 0) - (parseInt(prompt('Days of history to keep',
30)) - 1) * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000) * 1000 - 1)

I just recently upgraded to SM 2.46 and found that using the expression I
mentioned above used in the SM error console's evaluation field to delete
browser history except the last 30 days, no longer works. The NUMBER OF DAYS
prompt that is supposed to appear with this expression no longer appears when
the expression is evaluated in the error console. I'm not sure if this problem
now have anything to do with the mentioned changes regarding the Javascript
debugger interface at this URL:

http://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/seamonkey2.46/

and if so, what if any, is the workaround solution to execute the same
expression elsewhere in SM 2.46? This method has worked well for me up until now
and I'm guessing that the expression above just needs some update as some of the
elements the expression is referring to may now be invalid in SM 2.46. Thanks
for any advise from advance users / coders.
