Hi,
I'm using palemoon 28.13.0 64 bits on debian 8 Jessie It's the version maintained by steven pusser.
When I click "clear your recent history" in Tools > Preferences > Privacy, I select Everything as time range and browser & download history, form & search history and cache.
When I click clear now, nothings really happens. Everything marked for deletion is still there even when I close browser and reopen it the next day.
I use palemoon as a regular linux user although it's installed for everybody as root. The data is in "~/moonchild productions" and is readable/writable by me.
Is there a manual way to accomplish all of the above if it's not going to work the way intended. It works super well on the windows version still.

Moderator note: The offered solution below is extremely dangerous and generally ill-advised. Please know what you are doing before straight-up nuking your entire profile, and understand that this will wipe data for ALL Moonchild Productions applications you may have!
Wait, it's all Ohio? Always has been...

Also look in Browser Console for any errors. Update Pale Moon to 28.14.0 which is the latest version.

Apologies, you are quite right, and I had not taken into account the case where other MoonChild Productions apps were installed, nor fully discussed all the implications.

For what it's worth, Jessie is end-of-life, though I left the builds going. 32-bit on that release and Ubuntu 16.04 fails to build for the last few PM releases, though.
The latest Bleachbit added cleaning for Pale Moon, too. IDK if that's been mentioned on the forums yet.
