Hi malcpritch

Make sure you do not run Firefox in permanent Private Browsing mode (Always use Private Browsing mode; Never Remember History).

  • Options/Preferences -> Privacy -> Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history"
  • Deselect: [ ] "Always use Private Browsing mode"

Thanks, but when I go TOOLS - OPTIONS - PRIVACY I do not get Use custom settings for history" Use custom settings for history"

The screenshot shows that Private Browsing mode is active since it shows "Never Remember History". You need to click this line and select "Remember History" or "Use custom settings for history" if you want to make changes to some settings like (third-party) cookies or "Clear history when Firefox closes".

Click the line that shows "Never Remember History". That will open a drop-down list. From that drop-down list you can select "Use custom settings for history". Remove the checkmark on "Always use Private Browsing mode". Close and restart Firefox when prompted. You should be able to clear the history when Firefox is restarted.

You say "Click the line that shows "Never Remember History". But there is no such option

Hi malcpritch

With the settimgs that show in the screenshot you already have opened the custom settings. Since there is no checkmark on "Always use Private Browsing mode" this means the you are not in permanent Private Browsing mode and you shouldn't have the same issue that the OP (thread creator) described.

What kind of problems do you have with deleting history?
