Despite many attempts at fixing including reinstalling FF, highlighting various drop downs in the history menu like the "everything section", every two hours etc. Nothing seems to work and I end up deleting the history one by one. Thank you

Are you clearing history with Ctrl+Shift+Del and the time range set to "Everything"? Where are you seeing history persist after deletion?

Does it still happen in Troubleshoot Mode?

Thank you but I have tried that too and the issue still persists. The issue seems to be with the "everything" part.

You aren't using permanent Private Browsing mode (Always use Private Browsing mode; Never Remember History) as in that case you need to exit PB mode to be able to remove session data from a regular session?
