For some reason, when I try and click on form and search history under the clear history tab it's greyed out (all of the other options for clearing history are available)

I don't seem to be able to find any answers to WHY this is (which I would like to know) and also I've tried to follow instructions (factory reset firefox, restart computer etc) but for some reason it doesn't make any difference and I really don't know what to do. I'm not particularly tech savvy so any help would be really really appreciated

Can you make a new profile?

If the new profile works, you can transfer some files from the old one to the new one.

This happens if there is no form history to clear (you probably already cleared it).

Is saving form history enabled?

Firefox won't save new form data if you are in Private Browsing mode.
