Describe the bug

My index.html after indexing Firefox history created a ~20MB index.html, and it seems like Firefox crash when opening such a large file. This might not be a bug but I just wanna make sure if this is the normal behavior.

Steps to reproduce

Indexing Firefox browsing history just as in tutorial

Large DOM tend to crash browsers. In the django branch we have a django application with pagination to handle this issue. This will be generally available on version 0.4.x. You can check that branch if you want to give it a try right now (remember to backup your archive before doing so).
