Don't click it unless you plan on deleting history.dat or using vim (like I) to type '99999999999dd' or so.

Not sure if it was posted here, but since it affects both Windows and Linux Firefox's I figured I'd put it here!

(Latest Firefox, btw.)

It crashes because it's parsing, and it's huge. :P

I tried that when it was first posted, it was pretty disappointing.

Unless it got better?
