    I am trying to delete firefox history and it is hanging. Just trying to delete the "older than 6 months" folder and it hangs. Any other way to get at it?

    thanks for your considered reply, gm

    Run bleachbit and tick the boxes under Firefox, then clean

    Prevent URLs from specific domains from being saved in Firefox history
  • olamundo

    I want to prevent or block URLs of specific domains from being saved or shown in my history. I want to be able to go to these certain websites normally, just not have them saved and not have to use private or incognito mode.

    For instance, I don't want any of Google's search result pages to be saved in my history since then when I use the awesomebar I get a lot of Google's search results, which are of no use to me.

    Of course I can keep on deleting them, but I would like a way to specify that any URL starting with www.google.com shouldn't be saved.

    I still have yet to explore how this can be done manually.
    But for now you can use HistoryBlock Addon. I believe it answers your requirements.
