How to disable "Have I visited this website prior to today?"
Why is FF keeping track of how many times I visit a site in Tools > Page Info > Security > Privacy & History > "Have I visited this website prior to today?", and how do I disable it?

The feature of tracking the number of visits to each URL in your history may have been added in Firefox 3; it is stored in the places.sqlite database along with the page's URL. It appears to be used as one factor in setting the order of matches on the "AwesomeBar." I don't know if it has any other use.
As for disabling the counting, I don't see any obvious way to do that.
If you want to clear your visit count, you could erase all of your history, but I assume you don't want to do that. Perhaps there is an add-on that will allow you to reset the count to 1 for sites you have visited more than once? (I think I could write a SQL query to do it in the SQLite Manager extension, but I can't experiment with it at the moment.)
OK, thanks. I guess if there's actually a reason for it I can live with it.
