I am having a problem clearing my history. In "Tools", I go to Clear Recent History and click Clear Now and the History still remains. How do I clear the history? Thanks for your help.

I've tried all of the processes to clear the History recommended. I've gone to "History" and tried to clear it through there. I've tried to delete the history by highlighting the site and pushing delete on the key board, nothing is working. Please help, I like to delete history after every session. Thanks in advance for your help.

Mozilla changed the meaning of history to include not only browsing history, but cookies, cache, passwords

See the following image, options there control what is cleared with the Tools menu, I clear cache upon ending session. I would not want to clear browsing history as that is what make the AwesomeBar work. http://img232.imageshack.us/img232/4928/clearcachew.png

If you want to clear browsing history for range such as a date, session, hours http://kb.mozillazine.org/Viewing_the_browsing_history_-_Firefox
