Firefox will not respond when trying to delete history.

When I go to "clear recent history" and click on "clear now" it immediately states that the program is not responding. Does the same after reboot. It's not letting me clear my history, and I've tried 6 times, all with the same results... I have to close the program from the task manager. Is there a fix?

It's normal to take a very long time to clear history, especially if you include clearing the Cache. Your hard drive activity probably jumps to being continuous. I'd give it at least 2-3 minutes before assuming that Firefox has stopped working.

How much history do you have?

You can type a common character like a colon (:) in the search bar in the History Manager (Library).


You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox profile folder.
