It's a button, not a script constantly running in the background. Thus, you must select it whenever you want to purge old entries. This is one reason why I assert that extensions are merely work-arounds for bugs and not solutions. Extensions cannot always supply the capability the way end-users want. In this case, the bug is #660646 at <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=660646>. -- David E.
