423655 - History will become to large with it tabulating each entry.

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

I notice that as I went in and out of Hotmail, history logged each entry and departure from that site as well as other sites.  This could result in a history that will soon become to large to handle.  History just needs to record the event one time.   

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.open browser
2.go to hotmail several times
3.then go to history
4.there will be several entries for hotmail
Actual Results:  
You get multiple entries for the same site which seems to be extremely redundant thus creating a huge history databas.

Expected Results:  
You should get one listing per site instead of multiple for the same site.
