Background

Mozilla limits the number of entries in its browsing history. This helps performance by reducing the amount of information that must be kept in memory while the browser is running. To prevent culling old history entries prematurely, this preference allows users to set the minimum number of days of history to keep.

Possible values and their effects

A positive integer determining the minimum days of history to keep. Default is 90.
