You've already had responses for the case of clearing browsing history
wholesale through the point-and-click UI, but so far it looks like no
one has touched on the case of deleting items from browsing history
piecemeal.
You're probably already aware that if you type into the Firefox address
bar a fragment of a URL which you've already visited (e.g., the domain
name), Firefox will display a drop-down area with a list of URLs it
remembers that you've visited which contain that fragment.
If you use the arrow keys to navigate down to one of those suggested
URLs, hold Shift, and press Delete, that entry will be deleted from the
suggestion list - and, I think, from the Firefox browsing history
entirely.
If there's any way to prevent this functionality from being available,
I'm not aware of it. Maybe preventing history from being remembered at
all might work, but I'm not positive even about that.
Unless something has recently changed (never know with FF rapid
development), the URL bar history is kept separately from the main history.
