I tried the "Tools" pull down menu, options, then privacy tab. No matter what I do the history is still there. Also under the "Tools" menu, the "Stop Private Browsing & Clear Recent History" appear lite gray and you cannot click on them. Please help, thanks.

This can be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

I tried what you said and after I closed the browser and opened a new one I was able to click on "Clear Recent History" in the "tools" drop down tab, but it still did not clear any history. What now?
