Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

Any link in history is removed after I use it. This won't happen if history is
cleared but happens the day after the history is cleared. The same problem
happends in Mozilla 1.7.3.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Clear history or do a clean install of the software.
2. Visit some websites to make links appear in history then shut down the computer. 
3. Start the computer the next day, visit somemore websites and then use the
links in history to acceces a website you visited yesterday, then either close
and reopen history or collapps then expand the folder that the link you used was 
in.
Actual Results:  
The link in history that I just used was removed

Expected Results:  
The link should remain in history after it was used. The link should not have
been removed

I am using the default theme and have never installed any other themes.

Are the links completely disappearing, or are they being warped
into today's folder?

If the latter, then there may be an HCI problem (surprise), but
the behaviour is by design.

The links are being warped into today's folder.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
