It's a button, not a script constantly running in the background.  Thus,
you must select it whenever you want to purge old entries.


Ah! Thanks. That's a bummer. :(



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

Thanks and that one I already voted a while ago. :)

The built-in default is 30.  You can change that by doing the following:

1.  In SeaMonkey on the PrefBar tool bar, right-click and select
Customize Prefbar from the pull-down menu.

2.  In the far right column of the Preferences Toolbar pane under
Enabled Items, locate and select the Expire History button.

3.  Right-click and select Edit from the pull-down menu.

4.  On the Edit Item window, select the onClick tab.

5.  In the displayed script, locate the line containing 'Days of history
to keep'.  Change the 30 to whatever number of days you want to be the
default.

6.  Finish by selecting the OK buttons.

PrefBar's ExpireHistory button for history...

[Ant]

... Is it me or does this always seem to go back 30 days? I tell 
Prefbar's http://prefbar.tuxfamily.org/buttons.html#expirehistory to 28 
days or less than 30 seconds. It doesn't seem to stay forever in my 
SeaMonkey v2.11 web browsers. :(


Thank you in advance. :)
