Mozilla could benefit from having more advanced options for handling document
history.  Opera 6 exhibits superior configuration options in this respect.  They
offer you to turn on or off all history for back/forward, typed in (location
bar), and visited history records, as well as giving the option to input
individually how many records to store in each.  Mozilla 1.3 merely offers the
ability to clear the history, which must be done by accessing the proper menu
under preferences.  It would be vastly easier just to be able to turn off the
location bar, or specify your own default settings.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. In Opera 6, go to file>preferences>history & cache for example of advanced
history controls.


Actual Results:  
NA

Expected Results:  
NA

The history back end supports all those preferences; UI for them is a separate
issue.

I'm confirming this bug and also added it to the firebird extensions tracking bug

assuming bz knows what he's talking about :) closing WFM per bz. If you need UI please open a bug and list the items needed that have prefs but lack UI.
