457346 - if history is disabled we don't expire onAddURI

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[Marco Bonardo [:mak]]

if we have expired history we stop doing partial expirations onAddURI because we return earlier in AddURI, instead we kick expiration in OnExpirationChanged.
What happens if the partial expiration is interrupted (browser close)? on browser restart the partial expiration will probably not kick in.

not a big deal though, especially if we move expiration to a background thread. But filing bug as a reminder.

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.

does not apply anymore due to async expiration.
