It keeps history until the places.sqlite database reaches its maximum
size.  I do not remember what that size is, but I do know that the
database also contains your bookmarks.  Once the maximum size is
reached, the oldest history entries are deleted.

This was one Mozilla developer's idea of creating a benefit for users,
despite the fact that many users objected before it was implemented.  A
bug report requested the old capability to expire a history entry after
some user-set number of days, but that was rejected.  See Bug #660646 at
<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=660646>.

The .xpi extension "Expire history by days" restores the old capability,
but that was for pre-Webextension versions of Firefox.  I have a version
of that extension that was converted for use with SeaMonkey.  It still
works for SeaMonkey 2.49.4.  If you want a copy, reply in this newsgroup
thread.

President Trump still insists that Mexico will eventually pay for
his border wall.  If he really believes that, why does he not pay
for it out of his personal billions of dollars and then personally
collect from Mexico?
