When I try to delete,it shows the box to check to clear "Search and Form History",but the box is inactive and can't be checked. This has been going on for a week that I know of.

Hi snarble,

Have you tried starting Firefox in Safe Mode or tried using a new profiles?

You might want to check in Tools > Options > Privacy to see if you've disable History. It won't let you clear something if there's no history saved.

Hopefully this helps!
