Firefox has suddenly forgotten what links I have already visited. [View all]

This has happened before, and seems to have happened in the middle of a session when I was just switching between pages, not fiddling with any kind of settings. Super-annoying, since I can't tell which links in google searches I've visited previously.

Is there any kind of key shortcut that can delete browsing history ?? If so, sounds super-dangerous.

ETA: Firefox is up-to-date, OS is OSX 10.9.

Ctrl-Shift-Delete, but it pops up an option window first. Dr Hobbitstein Jan 2019 #2

Thanks. Don't think I could have typed that combination accidentally ! nt eppur_se_muova Jan 2019 #4

Would've been Command-Shift-Delete on Mac. Dr Hobbitstein Jan 2019 #7

It could be an Apple thing now, but older versions of FF... TreasonousBastard Jan 2019 #5
