Actually, I'm pretty sure the right thing would be to do this right in 
the original Firefox code, using the idle timer functionality in Mozilla 
that can do stuff when the browser is idle. I know this has been 
discussed in the "places" team (the feature that uses sqlite to store 
history and bookmarks) but it just might have been buried under a lot of 
other work over time. Would be interesting to see if 
bugzilla.mozilla.org has a report about this and get something going 
there again. If someone puts work into this, we should try to have all 
users of the feature (i.e. at least all Firefox and SeaMonkey users) 
benefit and not only the openSUSE users (as much as we like to be better 
than the rest of the world).
