I just installed Firefox 21. I do not see the Clear History item in the Tools menu any more. Is there any way to get that back? I prefer to have easy voluntary control over clearing the history and other data. Why did the developers not set the item in the Privacy panel to ask first before clearing anything, the way it did before?

You can find this item now in the History menu, just like others as Restore Previous Session and Recently Closed Tabs/Windows

Thanks. I found it by reading a description on a Mozilla addons page. Why did nobody mention that something was moved from one menu to another in the release notes? I actually read the release notes page for FF 21 and there is not a word about that there. I rarely open the History menu, which is why I did not notice that item in there. I'll be opening that menu a lot more now.

Try to set the gfx.content.azure.enabled pref to false or if this didn't help disable Direct2D by setting the gfx.direct2d.disabled pref to true on the about:config page and leave hardware acceleration otherwise enabled.

That way you still have the benefit from hardware acceleration, but may not suffer from rendering issues.

You can also try to uninstall Windows update KB2670838 if you have this update.
