I am having a problem with clearing visited links in Win 7 / Firefox 11.o

I can clear visited links except for one site: Silicon Investor: http://www.siliconinvestor.com/home.aspx

I go to:

  • Tools
  • Clear recent history
  • Time Range to clear: Everything
  • Clear Browsing and Download History
  • Clear Cache
  • Clear Active Logins
  • Clear Offline Website Data

Again, the only site that will not clear is Silicon Investor.

Thanks for your help!

PS: On Silicon Investor site, the History clears, but the Visited Links do NOT clear.

Are you reloading the page with the link after clearing history? The link will keep the same appearance until the page is reloaded.

Yes, I am reloading the page and nothing changes.

Also, several times I have reloaded the page and then shut down my PC and restarted. Nothing seems to clear the visited links.

I tend to think the problem may be at Silicon Investor - maybe some incompatibility with Firefox 11.0 ?

Thanks



PS: I have done some more experimenting and discovered the following:

1. If I am logged in to the Silicon Investor site I can clear history, but I am unable to clear the visited links.

2. If I am NOT logged into the Silicon Investor site I can clear history, AND clear the visited links with no problem at all.

So, I am thinking that there IS some incompatibility that occurs ONLY when logged in.

Strange!

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

You can also try to repair the places database with this extension:
