Help cleaning Firefox

Forums: 

I am a new user and am having trouble cleaning the history.
Firefox. 50.1.0
Bleachbit 1.12
Linux Mint 18.1

I had to update Bleachbit via the bleachbit website as the default version that mint installed was 1.10.
I have all the boxed ticked under Firefox except Passwords.

Is there something else I need to do or install or would this be something that Bleachbit just needs to update?

Thanks.

By "trouble" do you mean there is an error message? If so, please give the error message verbatim.

If you do not mean an error message, then please give more specifics like whether you see this in the uncleaned history window (CTRL+H), the address bar, or somewhere else.

Sorry,
I am saying the History is not cleaning. It still shows up in the History tab or Ctrl/h.
There are always red errors after Bleachbit cleans.

Here is a copy/paste of just the red errors if it will help.

Those red errors are related to APT and Chromium. They are not related to Firefox.

The APT errors are because you are not running with root privileges, like using sudo. You can either ignore these or run with root privileges.

For bug management purposes would you please mind filing two bug reports in the bug tracker? One bug is about Firefox, and please include those details (BleachBit version, Firefox version, and the CTRL+H). The second bug is about Chromium, and please include the Chromium version, BleachBit version, and error message.

I will take a closer look. Thank you.

OK will do.
Incidentally, I don't have Chromium installed. The Mint Software Manager shows the only thing is Chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra.

So I don't if reporting Chromium errors will be valid, but I can mention it if needed.

That is to say, Chromium is listed in the manager, but not installed.
