After making a mistake setting my PC's time I used Firefox and tried to browse the web before realising I had set the date to a year in the far future by mistake, I've corrected my date and time issue a good few months ago but I still can't get rid of the browsing history from the history tab as I can't find the specific instances in the full history list because it think it's in the future. any non-time-travel related ideas?

The only solution who show up on my mind is to set (again) the date to the future date you had set and then delete the history...
