Finer-grained history delete

Unread post by Supernova » 2014-09-28, 02:06

May it be possible to have an option to specify the timestamps for deleting history, instead of the fixed "last hour/last 2 hours/last 4 hours/today|all" ?
It always bug me when I'm only given hardcoded limited options. :?

You can Pale Moon delete the data when you close the browser.

History in the end IS nothing but an sqlite db (places) so if you used something like https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo ... e-manager/ and performed a very carefully selected query you could accomplish this.

dark_moon : I know, however this is pretty unrelated to my request, which is not to not have history remembered for a session or to delete everything each time, but only to be able to select specific parts of history and delete them.

Thanks for your suggestion Tobin. This looks very powerful, however somehow complicated for what I want to do.

Then open the chronik and delete this what you want.

Edit: Mozilla add this feature with firefox 33.0.1:

Maybe this is nice for you, but you will need if this will be build into Pale Moon.
