How to Delete History in Firefox on a Mac

Delete history in Firefox on Mac

Firefox is a Web browser that can be installed and used on both PCs and Mac computers. If you share the Mac computer with other users or your Firefox browser is running slower than normal, you may want to delete the saved history in Firefox. Doing so will remove all visited websites and saved passwords that are in the Firefox history. The steps for deleting the Firefox history on a Mac are almost identical to the steps for deleting Firefox history on a PC.

Instructions

1. Open a Firefox browser.

2. Click "Tools" found at the top of Firefox. A menu will appear.

3. Choose "Clear Recent History" inside the open menu. A window will open.

4. Click the "Time range to clear" drop box found at the top of the open window. Select "Everything."

5. Click the arrow next to "Details" in the middle of the window. When you do, six different Firefox options will appear at the bottom of the window. If you already see these options, you can move on to step 6.

6. Click the boxes located next to all six options listed at the bottom of the open window. When you do so, check marks will appear inside the boxes.

7. Click "Clear Now" at the bottom of the window. The Firefox history will be deleted.
