I can no longer clear download history by doing the following Clock on the download icon then clock on "Show All Downloads". The window that gets created has no downloads however if I just click on the download icon then I see downloads listed there.

This used to work until the latest version 68.02

So I just tried restart with addons disabled and the issue was flipped ie the download icon showed no downloads and the downloads showed just one item. The clear all downloads button worked.

I restarted firefox with addons enabled and downloaded some files etc and everything appears to working again..

Thanks for your help

[v57+] Places Maintenance is built into Firefox.

Type about:support<enter> in the address bar.

You will find Places Database near the bottom. Press the Verify Integrity button.

When done, copy and post the results here.
