Hello mehmeh, also in Firefox button > History > Clear Recent History > Details > check Form and Search history [v] > Clear Now.

Firefox button > Options > Privacy panel > Firefox will > Use custom settings for history > UNcheck Remember Form and Search history [ ]

if you set firefox to Clear history when Firefox closes : Firefox button > Options > Privacy panel > Clear history when Firefox closes [v] > Settings... > History > check Browsing History [v] and Form and Search history [v].

thank you
