1) I discovered my History listings of links visited extended to 1.5
years ago. There doesn't seem to be any way to have visited links
automatically deleted after, say, 90 days, or 180 days, etc.
2) If I click the "older than six months" icon, sort on date, then
select 6 months of files, SM becomes unresponsive, except every 20
seconds or so it displays a dialogue box with the message...
-------------------------------
A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding.
You can stop the script now, or you can continue to see if the script
will complete.
Script: chrome://Communicator/content/history/treeView.js:153
[ ] Don't ask me again [continue] [Stop script]
----------------------------------
Task manager shows the CPU operating at 40% - this is on an i7 core
machine with 8 GB memory and 256GB SSD. The disk is not busy.
3) I can delete individual entries, or up to 20-30 at a time (but those
take 15-20 seconds to complete). After each deletion, whether it's one
link or 30, I have re-sort twice to get the links back in the correct
"visited" order (by date); otherwise, they are all mixed up by date.
I'm using Windows 8.1, but exactly the same thing happens on my wife's
XP machine.
Is there a bug? How should I handle History to avoid these problems?
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.
Yep, annoying and still not worked on. I have my PrefBar to manually
delete history events after 28 days. Even purging that much still take a
while. :(
