I did find one caveat you didn't mention--at http://plugindoc.mozdev.org/faqs/memusage.html it suggests: "Setting the browser history to extremely large values will increase memory usage. Keeping the history to a reasonable level is a good idea for this reason."You're probably maxed to the max with RAM and wouldn't notice but lesser mortals on more ancient machines might suffer.Best wishes,D.PS: your blog + chatroom + log + video format is totally cool and inspirational to me. And you seem like a very nice person. Keep up the good work! Chris,

I’m like you and I like a deeper browser history than the default; I’m using the excellent wordreference.com to learn french–a very good online dictionary, with associated forums discussing exactly the things that we students find hard–and as a bonus, the words you’ve looked up are there in your history, enabling later memory-consolidating review.

I’ve found the dialog to edit my Firefox preferences in the Linux version (it’s edit>preferences>privacy) and I’ve maxed it up to 21 days for now. I did find one caveat you didn’t mention–at http://plugindoc.mozdev.org/faqs/memusage.html it suggests: “Setting the browser history to extremely large values will increase memory usage. Keeping the history to a reasonable level is a good idea for this reason.”

You’re probably maxed to the max with RAM and wouldn’t notice but lesser mortals on more ancient machines might suffer.

Best wishes,

D.

PS: your blog + chatroom + log + video format is totally cool and inspirational to me. And you seem like a very nice person. Keep up the good work!
