I need to embed a line in our login script that deletes the url bar history from Firefox, as part of our needs to keep browsing histories private. How can I do this?

The only way to do that would be to delete places.sqlite in the Firefox Profile Folder.

Places.sqlite also stores the bookmarks, but Firefox will restore those from the most recent JSON backup in the bookmarkbackups folder.
