Bug Description
Binary package hint: firefox
As the title explains, Firefox freezes up and then immediately shutdowns when I try to clear the history.
It happens whenever I try to clear the history!
== Steps to reproduce the bug ==
1) Select "Clear the recent history" in the Tools (in Italian it's called "Strumenti", I guess it's the "Tools" translation) menu entry
2) Check all the voices
3) Select "Last hour"
4) I guess it will clear your history, but it will exits unexpectedly.
5) Now re-open Firefox, and re-clear history: it works fine.

If I close all the tabs and go to my homepage (duckduckgo.com) then it works fine.
But unluckily If I try to clear my history when a different website is open it crashes.
