Can't download Ccleaner/Piriform. Is this a Firefox issue or Yahoo?

I don't think this is Firefox, I have IE and it still won't work. I go onto my Homepage and type in "Ccleaner/Piriform" A list of them come up. I pick the 'official' page for them, but when I try to download it, or whatever you call it (clicking on it?) All I get is a blank page with the 'little wheel' spinning, but it never downoads. Tried several others and ended up getting a hacker "Trivio" (Big mess) cleared that, but can't get Ccleaner at all. When I click the "Home" it flashes on for a second then disappears and Home comes up. I need something to clear my History. Thank you.

Firefox doesn't block the CCleaner website

You likely have other software on your computer if access to that website is blocked.

You can clear the history in Firefox via "History > Clear Recent History" or in the Library (Show All History). You can delete the places.sqlite files if there are problems.

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

Thank you for your research. And yes, I'm aware of clearing my history. But I also like to use Ccleaner by Piriform. My problem was being able to get their web page. I tried it also on my Tablet, and got a warning that the site was not safe. So I did go to another website phillo.....? and was able to download it. Thank you again. ferngully2
