Too much History of firefox = hangs

[taiebot65]

Binary package hint: firefox-3.5

I have been using firefox as my main browser for quite sometimes now it was working fine. BUt for the last few months i had massive trouble of hangs when loading pages and some trouble to shutdown firefox, sometimes taking more than five second....

I have recently deleted my history keeping only my cookies and all those troubles have gone.. So i suppose there is a bug certainly with the history if i see #429819 and #437725 they could be related to the same king of behaviour just deleting all your history makes a massive speedup in firefox.

So there should be a warning or a message to keep clean the history of firefox...
