85760 - Changes in Preferences... -> History -> Browsing History not saved

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 81415

(SeaMonkey :: Preferences, defect)

Description

[Fabian Schach]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:0.9.1) Gecko/20010607
BuildID:    2001060703

In Mozilla 0.9.1 if you change the number of days in Preferences... -> Navigator
-> History -> Browsing History the new value is not saved. If you close
Preferences with 'OK' and come back the number is '9 days' again.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to Preferences... -> Navigator -> History
2. Change the number of days in 'Browsing History'
3. Hit 'OK'
4. Come back to Preferences... -> History

Actual Results:  There is the default setting of '9 days' again.

Expected Results:  Your previously entered value should have been accepted.

I created a new profile to be sure this has nothing to do with old files in any
folders. The problem still exists.

However, while surfing with an old profile, pages I have visited quite som time
ago seem to expire never, regardless of the shown number in the Preferences.

Dup Verified.
This is a duplicate of bug 81415:
"If you select "Navigator - History" under Preferences and enter new values for
"Pages in history expire after ... days" or "Session history size", these
changes are not saved if you click "OK"."
