Cant remove browser history in Mozilla

[calahan]

Cant remove browser history in Mozilla for last 3 year its about 49K urls. When I am try to select all the urls and delete browser freeze and never come back.

Please advise how I can find this file with all these records and remove this file easily?

Just ask Firefox to show you your profile folder. Then close Firefox and delete the data from there.

The places.sqlite file holds your bookmarks, amongst other things.

Did you try telling Firefox to clear the browser history or did you only try to do "select all - delete"?

History menu > Clear All history
Choose 'everything' option
OK

FF is kinda slow at clearing History. Just select all and Clear, then let it run. It could take the better part of an hour. I had 8ish months take over 10 minutes, it looked like it crashed, but eventually it was done. It could really use a progress bar or something. Software that leaves people wondering if it is still working is annoying, but they exist.

This type of problem could also be indicative of a corrupted FF profile.
