I want to remove large number of urls from my page history – they all match simple regexp, but there is a lot of them – doing this by "delete" in suggestion box is not an option. And when I bring history tab, whenever I click on item, it automatically opens – so I can't remove there anyway.
I heard that these urls are somewhere stored in sqllite format. Where exactly? Can I connect there and remove it from there (of course with Firefox not running)?

Seems you are right. In my Firefox profile directory, there is a filed named
places.sqlite
. Opening it with sqlite reveals (amongst others) the tablesmoz_places
andmoz_historyvisits
. It seems thatmoz_historyvisits
uses the primary ofmoz_places
to refer to the URLs.I suggest you back up that file before you start deleting.
