I selected Clear Recent History. Checked Form & Search History. Selected Everything for the Time range. Clicked OK. But all form history is still available on all web pages. Why is the history not cleared?

You can delete the formhistory.sqlite file in the Firefox profile folder if Clear Recent History isn't working.

You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:

Is this a bug that needs to be fixed?
