Hello. How can I make it so firefox remembers which links I've visited as on the music singles pages for longer periods of time and more links?
I frequently use the singles pages on wikipedia, for example: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Category:2012_singles&from=D So I had already clicked on the links some months ago on the 2012 singles pages, but firefox forgot that I had clicked on the links there. How can I make it so it remembers for longer periods of time without causing problems to firefox? Also, I want it to remember what links I've clicked on the 2013 singles pages, because I am also keeping up with that. Can I tell firefox to remember all history for these pages, such as 2012 singles, or 2013 singles specifically? I just want firefox to remember what links I've visited, as in, the songs in the 2012/2013 singles pages, and not forget those, because I have already downloaded those so I want firefox to keep track. What are my options? Please let me know, and I hope you understand the problem I am describing.

First, please update to Firefox 23 Update Firefox to the latest release, the version you are running is very out of date.
Tylerdowner,
Thanks for your reply. When I update to the latest version of firefox, then I run into a problem which is, when I download a song from a website like mp3skull.com or mp3ye.eu, as in click on the download link, what happens is, it takes me to a plugin page, and it tries to play the mp3, instead of giving me an option to save it somewhere. How can I fix this issue if I update to the latest version?
You can right click the MP3 and click "Save Link As..." to save the mp3
Why would I right click the link to save, when the download link should automatically save it for you?
Perhaps you want to disable Firefox's native HTML5 audio player from playing MPEG-encoded media??
Thank you jscher2000. So back to my original question, if you guys can answer that too please. I will update to the latest firefox.
My Firefox remembers history from over a year ago, and unless you are using a setting or external tool to clear it, or load huge numbers of pages/download huge numbers of files, Firefox should pretty easily remember links you've accessed in recent months.
To see what Firefox has computed as the number of URLs to remember, you can check here:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the filter box, type or paste .hist and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Look for places.history.expiration.transient_current_max_pages
Mine's set to 104858. I don't know how that was determined.

Okay thanks. I think I might have cleared the history so it forgot. I guess as you've said, if I leave the firefox settings to default, firefox will keep a good amount of history. There is no setting for how long ago it will keep a history for, is there?
There used to be a time-based approach, but currently it is based on the number of pages, which is computed somehow from metrics related to database size/performance.
I can't recall whether there is an extension to flush history selectively, but if you think you might want to delete history in general but not for wikipedia.org, you might find an add-on to do it.
Okay thank you very much for your answers and help. :)
