Do you have the PrefBar extension installed? If so, get the Expire History Button from <http://prefbar.tuxfamily.org/buttons.html#expirehistory> and import it into PrefBar. While the default is 30 days, you can set another number of days. To change the default, you can also download and edit the .xpi file before importing. -- David E. Ross <http://www.rossde.com/>.
