How do I delete browsing history without Firefox crashing?
Dear Firefox Friends
I'm having huge problems deleting chunks of browsing history without Firefox crashing. When I go to the library and select the history to delete, everything just freezes up and eventually crashes, rather than the history deleting. I can delete things page by page, but this takes ages! Any suggestions?

Refresh Firefox {web link} is a LAST RESORT ! !
Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings
If you're having problems with Firefox, refreshing it can help. The refresh feature fixes many issues by restoring Firefox to its default state while saving your essential information like bookmarks, passwords, and open tabs.
Places Maintenance {web link} Allows to run Maintenance tasks on the database that drives Places, the bookmarks and history module behind Firefox.
Open the Add-ons Manager. Locate the add-on and press the Options button. Then follow the directions.
You can delete the places.sqlite file to remove all the history.
You can use this button to go to the current Firefox profile folder:
- Help -> Troubleshooting Information -> Profile Directory:
Windows: Show Folder; Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder - http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database (bookmarks and history) in the Firefox profile folder.
