In my case, this error persists until Firefox 14.0.1. I tried with '-safe-mode', disabling languages, addons and plugins but I never got that dialogue displayed.
I found that this problem didn't occur with other profiles, so I created a new profile and imported all my data and preferences through Sync. Sync Firefox saves the day. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/994244 Title: Cannot clear recent history.
