History is now part of the database in places.sqlite. There is some disatisfaction among users about this implementation, primarily regarding the inability to set an expiration interval beyond which history entries expire and are removed. See bug #660646 at <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=660646>. A work-around is provided by the Expire History button that can be downloaded from <http://prefbar.tuxfamily.org/buttons.html#expirehistory> and imported into the PrefBar extension. This allows the user to set an expiration interval and delete history entries that are older. It requires the user to select the button manually; it is not automatic. -- David E.
