    I use Firefox, what i think you need to do is,
    Top L/h corner is there an orange Firefox box click it. ...... 2nd item down History ......2nd item, clear recent history,
    new box says ....Time range to clear, you can alter the drop menu until it says Everything.
    Try that see what happens.

    I use Ccleaner as part of the monthly ritual (Mbam scan, ccleaner, backups)
    Part of Ccleaner is to clean Firefox and part of that is to clear history.
    By the way, I leave this unchecked as it stops the awesome bar from picking up previously visited websites.

    I use privacy eraser pro...but didn't realise that it wasn't clearing my history even though that box is checked...it is doing a clean though, because its getting rid of my passwords and usernames for sites like this

    I have just emailed their helpdesk

    I'm more concerned that the typo in this line may have been 'me' instead of 'my'........
