RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 329741

Details

[privacy][places] we should remove history.dat (if it exists) when we clear private data.

otherwise, you could recover the old history by just removing the .sqlite file (soon to be called places.sqlite), and restarting the browser, as that will invoke the mork history importer (nsMorkHistoryImporter).

alternatively, we chould just remove history.dat after importing it, but that will prevent easy switching between fx 2 and builds with places.
specifically, when the user clears "Browsing History" (either manually, or on quit)
Summary: [privacy][places] we should remove history.dat (if it exists) when the user clears the private data → [privacy][places] we should remove history.dat (if it exists) when the user clears the private data ("browsing history")
