324545 - Rename form history database

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect, P3)

Description

[Brett Wilson]

If it is low-overhead enough to have a separate database file open, we should move form history into its own database file.

This renames both the bookmarks/history and form history databases like we discussed.  In the process, I discovered that testbookmarks.js had fallen out of date with the default bookmarks, so I fixed it.  Execution of testbookmarks.js with xpcshell crashes on exit, somewhere in the cache code.  It might be because we're now making a profile directory available, but not initializing something correctly.  I'll talk to Darin about it, but I don't think it's critical for now.

Stupid nit: need space.

Bug 451915 - move Firefox/Places bugs to Firefox/Bookmarks and History. Remove all bugspam from this move by filtering for the string "places-to-b-and-h".

In Thunderbird 3.0b, you do that as follows:
Tools | Message Filters
Make sure the correct account is selected. Click "New"
Conditions: Body   contains   places-to-b-and-h
Change the action to "Delete Message".
Select "Manually Run" from the dropdown at the top.
Click OK.

Select the filter in the list, make sure "Inbox" is selected at the bottom, and click "Run Now". This should delete all the bugspam. You can then delete the filter.
