Prior to 3.0 (I believe), FF used a history.dat file. Now, it uses an SQLite file. The file not only contains history, but bookmarks and tags as well.

It is true that the NirSoft utility cannot delete history entries for FF (dat or sqlite), but FF's own utility can, so it's not really a matter of being impossible, it's just that the NirSoft developer didn't implement it.

And while the FF built-in history manager (Libray) works quite well for deleting individual pages or entire sites, my suggestion for creating a separate profile was made in an effort to avoid having to use such utilities. But it definitely is an option, albeit one requiring a little more effort.
