I can't delete individual history in FireFox. I can delete whole days or weeks. Tried all the suggestions. Making certain Private Browsers is not checked, using all the delete history methods. Also having trouble logging into this account each time I set it up. This is my fourth try. When I log out it won't let me back into the account. I write down my log in info each time so I can reference it when I try to log back into this account. Every thing works fine on my Mac Air. Just not on my Imac. I have the latest FireFox update.

Are you talking about sync? Are you trying to remove data from sync?

You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database (bookmarks and history) in the Firefox profile folder.

  • use "Verify Integrity" on the "Help -> Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page

See also:

If "Verify Integrity" on the "Help -> Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page cannot repair places.sqlite then remove all places.sqlite files Firefox profile folder. Firefox will rebuild places.sqlite and restore the bookmarks from the most recent JSON backup in the bookmarkbackups folder.

You can use the button on the "Help -> Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page to go to the current Firefox profile folder or use the about:profiles page.
