Would like to be able to clear browsing history and cache without clearing the download history. I see the separate box for cache. Is there a method to separate the browsing and download history box.

You will have to clear the History in the History Manager (Library, History > Show Al History) or the History sidebar (View > Sidebar > Hisotry).

I manually cleared all my history using the History Manager. Unfortunately, all my download history was also cleared. I am hoping Firefox 4 will be able to separate out those functions. That would be nice. Thank you for replying.
