About a month ago, I wrote a tip on how to clean your internal Firefox database using a manual process. While this method works, a few of our readers commented on an add-on which automates this process (thanks guys). This is a great tool to know about, so I thought I would pass it along.
Defragments your Firefox “Places” database (history/bookmarks)
This greatly reduces the lag while typing in the address bar and the start-up time.
This extension features configurable automatic cleaning, periodic reminder, and internationalization.
Basically, this add-on automatically cleans your database so you don’t have to worry about it. This works with the latest release of Firefox, but hopefully this functionality with be included in future release of Firefox so an add-on is not needed.
