Firefox only keeps one copy of this file and there are no automatic backups for browsing history as there are for bookmarks.{/warning} #[[T:profileFolder]] #Close Firefox completely: [[T:closeFirefox]] # In your profile folder, find the files {filepath places.sqlite} and {filepath places.sqlite-journal} (if it exists) and delete them (or rename for example, to places.sqlite''OLD'', to keep the old file as a backup) . *''(Optional)'' Also delete the file {filepath xulstore.json}.
