I had altered my browser history months ago to retain up to 999 days (at
the time, the program didn't like anything greater).

When I try to load up my history, Firefox becomes unresponsive for
*minutes* as it *struggles* to load up the data.  Internet Explorer is
useful in that the history loads up in seconds and I can access it
immediately.

I have large history files because searching for fanfic previously read
before is one of the most daunting aspects in this fandom.  Retaining a
large history helps a bit while I'm still trying to figure out a way to
organize reading 'sessions'.

Plus, I don't know why exactly... but Firefox on my computer has recently
become unstable, regardless of the lastest upgrade.  Before, I never saw
it crash in days; now, it's a daily thing and I use IE to load up pages
Firefox dies on such as Earthlink's webmail.

I tried backtracking via uninstalling added on software and extensions and
even a reinstall of Firefox (after uninstalling it per Mozilla
instructions), but still, it's become unreliable.  I tinker with numerous
programs to the point it's hard to pinpoint the whens and ifs.

Aye, Mozilla is great there.
