firefox wont let me delete my history

I have tried going to the firefox tab > history > clear recent history but the option to clear history is greyed out and I can't click it. Similarly, when I go to the privacy options and try to make it where it clears my history upon exiting, that option is also greyed out. I have all my history from January, so not having anything to delete is not the problem. How can I fix this?

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in (permanent) Private Browsing mode.
