How to Delete the Pull-Down List of Webpages
Web browsers such as Internet Explorer and Firefox keep a history of all of the websites visited in those browsers. These websites will then be saved in a pull-down list that can be viewed by clicking on the arrow located to the far side of the address bar. You may wish to remove this list of pull down websites if you are using a computer you don't own. To achieve this, delete the history for the browser you are using.
