History

Can I somehow export my History from Mozilla Firefox? And import it later?
I want to export it, delete the current history, see if firefox will be faster, decide from the result of the previous step if i should import my history or not.

You can backup your history with MozBackup, then delete it and restart Firefox. You can then restore the backed up history after you've completed your speed tests.

Wow it took like 2 minutes for my Pentium 4 2.4ghz processor to delete the history... it had like 24 mbs of it and 33 mbs was the export of everything :)
Neat application.
You know, after closing firefox before, firefox.exe process would still be active for like several seconds. Now without the 1 year stored history, it disappears right away after closing firefox.
I have also tried to restore the history and it went fine.
Thanks for the help and for this awesome application.

If you want to delete your history every time you close down Firefox so it doesn't slow down your browser in future, follow the instructions in post #4 in this thread: http://www.techsupportforum.com/alte...6-firefox.html

Alternatively, you can limit the size of your saved history by going to Tools > Options > Privacy tab and changing the number of days for 'Remember my browsing history for at least...' to a lower number.
