When I download a PDF or any file with firefox, the download box will appear like normal tracking the download until it's finished. Usually when the download is complete, you can click on "clear list" in the bottom left of the box to clear your download history, but with the latest version of Firefox none of my computers (I have two computers with Windows 7) can't click on "Clear List" as it is always greyed-out. Any help would be deeply appreciated, thank you.

This can happen if you run Firefox in (permanent) Private Browsing mode.

  • Tools > Options > Privacy: Use custom settings for history
  • Deselect: [ ] "Always use private browsing mode"
