Some developer had the not-so-bright idea that users should no longer control when entries in the history database expire. Instead, they now expire when the database gets full. This is bug #660646. See <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=660646>. In the meantime, install the PrefBar extension from <https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/seamonkey/addon/prefbar/>. Then import into PrefBar the Expire History Button from <http://prefbar.tuxfamily.org/buttons.html#expirehistory>. This does not expire entries automatically; but it does allow the user to set an age in days, beyond which entries are expired when you use the button. -- David E. Ross I am sticking with SeaMonkey 2.26.1 until saved passwords can be used when autocomplete=off. See <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1064639>. _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
