I am using waterfox and have selected Never Remember History since the day I downloaded it. My history is still being remembered even when I go in settings and supposedly clear history now. Please tell me how to make this work!!!

If you are in permanent Private Browsing mode (Always use Private Browsing mode; Never Remember History) then all data is kept in memory and purged automatically when you close Firefox. What you see in settings is about the history of a regular window and you can only clear this history if you start Firefox in regular mode (i.e. not in PB mode).

Note that for issues with a third-party build like Waterfox, you need to contact Waterfox for support.
