How to prevent Firefox from expiring the entries in the tables of the places database?
I have recently read some articles mentioning about the places database, and I came to know [from those articles] that Firefox expires entries from the tables of the places database.
I am currently doing some work on the places database of the Firefox browser. I had made several copies of the places database file on different days (the difference can be months apart). And as I know some SQL, so by running the command I checked that whether the rows of the earlier table ('places' table in the 'places' database) are in the newer table or not (also 'places' table in the 'places' database) and they were not, so I assumed that Firefox has expired those entries.
Now the question is how can I prevent Firefox from expiring entries from the tables of the places database? (especially from the table named 'places')
Note: I have already read articles about changing the values of those variables in the about:config of Firefox but, I guess that Firefox is expiring values based on the conditions of expiration and not on the database size being small 'or due to performance'->(because my computer is fast enough `n currently has approximately 18 GB free space in C: drive).
