I do not appear to have the "main" Firefox tab in the top left corner to enable me to clear history. I have reinstalled FF but it is still not there.

In the Firefox help video they show a Firefox icon in the very top left of the window. This is a drop down tab where one of the items is the clear history option. I do not have this tab and have tried reinstalling Firefox but it is still not there. On the video it is shown above the File / Edit / View etc options.

If you don't have the Firefox button, you're using the classic view. To restore the new view of Firefox (Changed in Version 4):

  • View > Toolbars > Menubar [Uncheck]


In Firefox 6 you can use this to clear your history/other offline content: Click on the Firefox button on top left part of your browser:

  • History > Clear Recent History

There you can select what you want to clear.

If you want to see the menu bar you can press alt on your keyboard so you can see file/view/... Also for activating it to always be there follow this (Classic view of Firefox):

  • Firefox > Options > Menu Bar


Don't forget to hit the 'Solved it' button if this solved your problem so the topic will be closed.
