In Firefox portable where is history stored?
I selected Firefox portable so I could run it on my PC (Windows 7) in drive D (secondary hard drive) and avoid excessive writing to primary drive C (SSD). I'm trying to find where history is stored so I can use CCleaner to periodically securely overwrite it. I've searched the various Firefox files on drive D and have been unsuccessful in finding the specific file that stores the history. Can someone please help me identify this mystery file?

Firefox Portable doesn't save browsing history, AFAIK. That 3rd party build has their own support forum over here.

Thanks for your reply. However, the Firefox Portable I installed several days ago does indeed save browsing history in my computer. When I click on the Firefox tab in the upper left hand corner of my monitor, and then select History, it gives me a choice of selecting "Show All History" along with other choices. When I click on "Show All History", all the sites I visited today and yesterday are listed. This list is stored somewhere in my computer and I'd sure like to find out where.
You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:
- Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
- X:\PortableApps\FirefoxPortable\Data\profile
Bookmarks and history are stored in the places.sqlite file.
