Check that you do not start Firefox in Private Browsing mode (Tools > Stop Private Browsing is grayed)

From the menu bar: Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting Firefox will: Use custom settings for history Uncheck: [ ] "Automatically start Firefox in a private browsing session"

You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"

You can't clear your recent history in Private Browsing - Use Firefox without saving history mode, because there isn't any new history being kept.
