I think you misunderstood. I am not saying Firefox should not purge in any case. I meant to say Firefox should alert users before it do it, allowing a chance users can make disk space themselves to avoid data loss. The latest full places.sqlite backup I got dates back to 2019. I had to make decision stay with the loss most of its data newer history, or a more than two years old one. I learn sqlite for a whole day before I've managed to merge the old places.sqlite to the new one.(partly, at least, it is not easy with table has foreign key constraints for a newbie to sql). I would have saved a day without learning the abc of sqlite.
