247576 - History Loss

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 242207

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[Ng Ming Hong]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040614 Firefox/0.9
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040614 Firefox/0.9

Firefox 0.9 keeps losing the history regularly. When the history is lost, I
can't auto-complete the frequently/recently visited URLs in the location bar. I
clicked Ctrl + H and it onlys display several sites I visited today (i.e. only
have the "Today" folder).

For the setting for history, I'm using the setting value: Remember visited site
for 20 days. I use Firefox everyday, so it is unlikely to be caused by aging of
history.

I didn't use Mozilla 1.7, so I'm not sure if this bug belongs to Mozilla too.

Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1. (Not sure) Startup Firefox when a new day has started (00:00).
Actual Results:  
Almost all the history are lost.

Expected Results:  
It should only remove the history if and only if it isn't used for N days (e.g.
20 days) or more.

I have the same problem with FF 1.0 PR. The history seems to be emptied from
time to time, sometimes even more than once a day!

That bug is much much older... But this bug starts since Firefox 0.9x only...

Are you sure? Because it doesn't happen it Netscape, Mozilla, and older versions
of Firefox.

Sorry, my mistake. It IS duplicate of bug 242207. But bug 242207 is NOT a
duplicate of bug 102519.
