When I go to Tool, Options, Privacy, Clear all Current History, there is no Clear Now or Cancel button to choose from on the bottom of the box.

In Windows 10, when I go to Tools, Options, Privacy, Clear all Current History, there is no Clear Now or Cancel button to choose from on the bottom of the box. There always was one. I see it on my PC, however not on both of my laptops for some reason. I do have the newest version on Firefox and always keep it up to date. Thx.

It looks that the pop-up automatically resizes itself in the available space and doesn't have a scroll bar. In the first image of each of your posts the text size is that large that these buttons have fallen off. If you would zoom out the page (Ctrl and -) or otherwise increase the height of the window then you should see these buttons.

Type about:preferences#privacy<enter> in the address bar. The button next to History, select Use Custom Settings.

At the bottom of the page, turn on Clear History When Firefox Closes. At the far right, press the Settings button. Turn on Cache and Form And Search History and whatever else you want.

That pop-up shows the settings for "Clear history when Firefox closes". What you are looking for is "Clear Recent History" in the history menu drop-down list. This item has the "Ctrl+Shift+Delete" keyboard shortcut.

On my PC, when I click on tool, then options, then privacy, then "clear all current history" on the bottom of that box, it gives me two options: Clear now or cancel. These options come up every time with no problem.

On my laptops though, (and I have the exact settings as on my PC), those two options do not show at the bottom of the box, thus not allowing me to "clear now".

Can you attach a screenshot of that window?

I did click control - and x'd out and got back in. It did work once or twice, however it keeps coming back with no clear now or cancel options. This never happened before. It has to be a setting or something. Does NOT happen on my PC (24" monitor), only laptop.

I know this is a simple setting fix or something simple, just can't figure out what it might be.

Got it fixed. I figured out that I needed to go into display settings and set the slider to 150% instead of 175% (for the size of text, apps and other items. That fixed it.
