Cannot delete individual lines in browsing history in Windows 7
I have been using Firefox for many years and had not had a problem deleting my browsing history individually or in total. For the past few weeks however, I HAD been unable to delete any of my history, even after performing all the recommended trouble shooting.
Someone suggested refreshing Firefox which I did. Refreshing Firefox resulted in a partial fix. NOW, if I delete ALL history, I am able delete everything in the history. However, I am still unable to delete individual lines in the browsing history. Thanks in advance for any help on restoring this function.

Where are you trying to delete history?
Is that in the History Manager (Library) or in the sidebar or is this about history that shows in the location/address bar drop-down list?
If you use Sync then best is to disconnect Sync temporarily during troubleshooting.
You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database (bookmarks and history) in the Firefox profile folder.
- use "Verify Integrity" on the "Help -> Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page

If "Verify Integrity" on the "Help -> Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page cannot repair places.sqlite then remove all places.sqlite files in the Firefox profile folder. Firefox will rebuild places.sqlite and restore the bookmarks from a recent JSON backup in the bookmarkbackups folder.
- keep a backup copy of places.sqlite in case a new places.sqlite database has to be created

You can use the button on the "Help -> Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page to go to the current Firefox profile folder or use the about:profiles page.
