How can I erase my remote past browsing history, e.g., more than year ago, only?

more options

I discovered that Firefox has my browsing history going back to 2012. I don't want to turn off the history recording feature, but I also don't want Firefox saving things I will never need. Is there some way I can set it to automatically erase everything more than six months, a year, etc. old? I'm running the latest Firefox (28) using Windows 7.

Thanks!

Currently, Firefox determines how much history to save based on available disk space.

You can reduce the space to save less history, but to set a date-based cut-off, you would need an add-on.

Maybe this one? I haven't tried it myself: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/expire-history-by-days/

If you try that out, please let us know how it works for you.
