That very short article says that the vacuum action can be done by either running the command specified in the article in the Firefox Error Console, or by using and running a Firefox extension. It also says that there's a plan to make this vacuum operation a default FF or FFx feature.
My Places file perhaps didn't need any serious vacuuming, but there were no problems in running the command around ten minutes ago. |
If you don't want to add another extension, there is a small free utility that does the same thing.
SpeedyFox works fine on my Vista system, they say a Mac version is on its way.
