SOLVED Where does Firefox keep its web site history?

[37Shannon]

I mainly use Firefox as my browser, and the history clean-up options are very rudimentary. I can only clean up based on time-related metrics, such as "yesterday" or "one week ago". I'd rather be able to do a cleanup based on filtered contents. For example, I do a lot of map viewing using Google maps, and each time I change a location, the history gets updated. Thus, I'd like to have the ability to delete history by saying "delete all sites whose URL contains Google".

I have the ability to write such a program, but I haven't been able to find out where the history file is kept. Can anyone help with this location?

Or, is there a browser history cleanup app that already does what I want to do?

You can do this manually by selecting Show All History under the History Menu and then search for Google and delete the results.

You can also install a plugin that does this automatically. You can take a look at what plugins are available by going to https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/search/?q=history
