When I need to clear history. I cannot see the 'clear' tab in the privacy and security option of Mozilla. I am using windows 7 starter pack.

Hi, open the 3-bar menu > Library > History > Clear Recent History, and select from the options. Delete browsing, search and download history on Firefox

If your question is resolved by this or another answer, please take a minute to let us know. Thank you!

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

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