For whatever reason, I can't delete the browser history. I've tried manually deleting it and it remains. Even after reinstalling the program the history won't clear. How do I remove it?

Hello, you could try using another program, such as ccleaner. it is free and reliable. Or you can try to delete the files manually.

You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox profile folder.
