Leaped from FF2/W98 to FF47/WXP, Trying to set FF47 to auto-clear history older than 21 days. Does that utility (still) exist? Can this action be done manually without invoking SQL editor?

Expire history by days {web link} Allows to expire history older than a fixed amount of days.

Thank you Fred. Looked everywhere but addons, that'll teach me. Installed, set to 21 days, there is no 'apply' or 'save' on the UI but the 21 is still there after exit & look again. Will mark 'solved' after seeing it in action.
