In Chrome I can hit Ctrl+Alt+Delete and it will give me an option to clear everything. How to do the same in firefox?

That's labeled as "Clear Recent History". How recent? Does it save older History? If it Deletes ALL History, why is labeled as 'Recent'?

^That shortcut opens a pop-up window and this window has time range selector and a details button where you can select what to clear.
