Download it from <http://www.rossde.com/test/expire_history_by_days-1.2.0-sm.xpi>. Unless I hear otherwise, I will remove it from my Web site on 6 September. It is not MY extension. I merely used <http://addonconverter.fotokraina.com/> to convert it from Firefox compatibility to SeaMonkey compatibility. Without the extension, the oldest history entries are deleted when the places.sqlite database is filled. The database has a fixed size of 10Mb. Once the extension is installed, use [Tools > Adons Manager > Extensions] to display the list of extensions. Scroll down to the "Expire history by days" extension, and select the Options button. There is an input area for "Expire visits older than these days". If you have exceedingly many bookmarks, set a very large number of days, or check the "Disable Places expiration" checkbox, I am not sure what happens when the places.sqlite database is filled. I strongly suspect that, if the checkbox is not checked, the automatic deletion of oldest history entries will occur even if the specified number of days has not been reached. If the checkbox is checked, I suspect the database will grow greater than 10Mb until entries are deleted when they are older than the specified number of days; once that happens, the database will not then shrink unless you manually vacuum the database or you use SpeedyFox (which vacuums all indicated .sqlite databases). -- David E.
