You can do that by either:
1. Tools > Options I believe under the general tab, there is an option to automatically clear download history.
2. Open the download window, and select Clear History or right-click the download and select remove.

This sounds like Firefox in Windows - Tools>Options isn't for linux

Clicking 'Clear List' in the downloads window doesn't clear the list.
Right click and 'Remove from List' also isn't working.

The list is permanent! This is surely a bug.

Can you help with this problem?
