I down loaded the new Firefox and really don't care for it as I feel the basic structure is not user friendly. I know that in the old version I was able to clear my browser history easily. Now I am unable to find out where to do this without having to click on multiple icons to get there. So can someone please help me and also would like to see if there is a way to go back to the older version if possible. Thanks for your time, Carol

Hello, to quickly clear your history you can use this keyboard shortcut:

On your keyboard press: Ctrl + Shift + Delete to clear recent history.

Alternatively: Click on the 3 line Firefox Menu, then click on Customize, then drag the History icon to the toolbar like in the attached screenshot. You can then clear your history easily from there.

You can find the History button in the Customize palette and drag this button to the Navigation Toolbar.

You can tap the Alt key or press the F10 key to show the hidden Menu Bar with the History menu temporarily.
