seo/tracking: I'm flooding FF history files

[rcjordan]

I'm using 2 extensions ported from chrome to pack and sculpt the browser history.  Debbie says this seemed effective with screwing up G's ad tracking so continue it in FF just in case.

Mark Selected Links As Visited

History AutoDelete
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/history-autodelete/

I wish I had an extension/script to post the modified history to the site's referrer logs.

On a low-memory chromebook-linux, my FF is locking up once or twice a day.  I don't have to reboot, just close/restart. All the tabs regenerate.  I suspect it is the history storage being maxxed out quickly & repeatedly.  An average reddit page has 150-200 links including nav, some forums (Discouse-driven) can have 400.  An article on a media site like The Guardian --120+ .

moz support post:

Firefox determines automatically how many pages can be kept without affecting the performance. You can see the current value of this maximum as the value of the read-only pref places.history.expiration.transient_current_max_pages on the about:config page. You can create a new integer pref named places.history.expiration.max_pages if you want to adjust the automatically calculates number of pages to keep.
