Foxfire 7.0.1 Mac OS 10.6.8 Most any financial institution, plus Verizon wireless Adobe Reader 9.4.6

This function works just fine in Safari, but I like being able to Foxfire feature 'clear recent history' after using a financial website (Bank, credit card, brokerage, etc.)

Sorry, none of that worked. Its very frustrating. Also, since the last upgrade, which seems almost automatic, half of the icons for my bookmarks and actual websites have disappeared. I haven't upgraded to Mac OS Lion, is that part of these problems?
