<Pale moon will:^[Use customs settings for History]>


why does <browsing and download history> have to be tied together, I find this a nuisance, though not wanting to keep my browsing history, I find it frustration that my download history isn't kept, and so I have to wander off to my download folder to see if ive downloaded something previously.

Is it not possible to separate these 2 concepts.. could someone please look into it
thank you :?:

I've always wondered why anyone wants a download history, stuff I want to keep goes in the appropriate folder, anything else in the bin. But we're all different so it's not a criticism.

I always found weird that browsing & download history were tied in clearing options.

The Download Manager Tweak add-on has various options about saving or deleting history separately from browsing history. I haven't tried deleting browsing history elsewhere (since I don't want to lose it) to see whether that would override the add-on's retention setting.

I find it to be useless too. I know what I download. It's just an extra window I need to close. "Download something, wait until it finishes, close download history window". I could do without the last part.
