Firefox history expiration
I understand that the history expiration mechanism introduced to improve Firefox performance cant be disable as yet(yet-latest stable firefox release).
and I know (it has been confirmed by others here) that adding places.history.expiration.max_pages can override the expiration entry used to work on last release. Today I updated my firefox to 14.0.1 and I have been wondering if this still works.
Thank you!

Note that the places.history.expiration.max_pages pref only makes it possible to keep more history items and doesn't actually have to do with the number of days to keep.
In Firefox 3 you could specify how many days to keep, but those prefs no longer work and you can reset them on the about:config page if you still have them.
It does apply to the latest release, yes?
hi on your code, I can not find this entry: places.history.expiration.max_pages Is it different name now?
No the code splits it over two lines.
One line to define the pref branch #76 and #85 for the max_pages
- 76 const PREF_BRANCH = "places.history.expiration.";
- 85 const PREF_MAX_URIS = "max_pages";
- 768 this._urisLimit = this._prefBranch.getIntPref(PREF_MAX_URIS);
Ok thank you.
is it part of the full source code? where is the full source code?
You can get the source code via links on the web page:
Thank you.
Are add-ons source codes similar to Firefox source code?
Add-ons are packed in a ZIP archive with and .xpi file extension.
Most add-ons consists only of JavaScript and XUL code that are readable, but may also contain binary components without a source code.
thank you!
The binary components should be written in java?
And thank you for adding useful links in your posts :)
