With the time, Firefox history and favorites keep growing. Because of that, Firefox starts to become slow and bloated (Awesome Bar becomes a tragedy). The only way to solve that is to run:

$ sqlite3 FILES_OF_PROFILE.sqlite vacuum

To all files in the user profile (I use a shell script with a loop, of course). Why that cleanup isn't automatic? The performance of the browser degradates with time.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use firefox for some months, without cleaning history
2. Just open the browser or try to use Awesome Bar

Actual Results:  
The browser is slow and unresposible.

Expected Results:  
Fast browser.
