The history was deleted, which was good, but subsequently, Clear Recent History and Clear History commands continue not to function, so the original problem of not being able to clear history wasn't solved.
</p><p>I wondered if the problem could be related to the fact that Firefox initially updated itself on top of or into my version 79, which had my bookmarks. So I put that in the trash and downloaded a new version, 84 at this point. Its new profile had no bookmarks, and when I tried to make the old profile the default instead, it was not allowed. So I have now reverted, because at least I have bookmarks, though no Clear History function.
</p><p>Furthermore, during all that, Spotlight lost functionality, and the fixes that I've found for this do nothing. I ran Disk Utility, which I surmised might be helpful, but it was unable to do its job of checking/fixing indexing etc., or to completely verify the disk. I don't know if this is related or coincidental, or if other things have developed problems. Unfortunately, all these functions are essential to my work.
</p><p>Thank you for trying to help. This has become too messy and difficult for me, so I am likely going to revert to Firefox version 79. The more I see of Firefox 83 and 84, the less I like it.
</p>The places.sqlite file contains your History and Bookmarks.
And it looks like it is corrupted.

</p><p>I had already fixed the bookmarks loss part, so it's only clearing browsing history I can't do.
I did re-start computer, no help. The link you included doesn't seem to apply to my problem.
