CCleaner not clearing history in Firefox


Recommended Posts

I am using CCleaner Pro v5.41.6446, 64 bit on a Win 10/Pro 64 bit machine, current updates.  I recently noticed that after running CCleaner, the history for Firefox is not completely cleared.

I am using Firefox Quantum v59.0.2, 64 bit. To clear the history, I still, after running CCleaner, have to go into Firefox >Library>History>Clear Recent History  to completely clear the history.

I have all the check-boxes checked in CCleaner (App) Firefox except "compact databases".

Any comments ?  Thanks in advance.

and if you do tick Compact Databases, does that make a difference?

Update: I went in to Firefox and cleared all history in Firefox. CCleaner is now cleaning Firefox. I am not sure what the issue was.

When I first ran CCleaner, it skipped over all Firefox components, even with the Firefox closed. After clearing history in Firefox, CCleaner is working as expected.

Hopefully the OP will report back with his findings...
