It doesn't delete when I click on Clear List at the bottom of the window. When I right click on the item, there is no delete option. The file is not in my Download folder.

Tried to delete the file downloads.sqlite but, I can't because even with FF closed I get file in use message.

Found the solution. I needed to shut down my computer and do a cold boot, then I was able to delete the file downloads.sqlite. Of course it could have been that the cold boot was the reason the undeletable file was gone???
