For Firefox on Android:

Use menu > Settings > Privacy > Clear Private Data feature as described in this article: Clear your browsing history and other personal data on Firefox for Android. Be careful to uncheck categories of data you don't want to lose.

If the history is not removed, do you recall every modifying any of Android's hidden developer settings? We had a thread where that was the problem, but I don't have the link handy.

For Firefox on Windows:

Try the "3-bar" menu button > History > Clear Recent History as described in this article: Delete browsing, search and download history on Firefox. Be careful to uncheck categories of data you don't want to lose.

Does that work?
