How to Delete Mozilla Search History
Mozilla's Firefox web browser has a search history feature that retains a record of your most recent Internet searches. When clicked, this mechanism produces a drop-down list of the last sites you visited so you have the option to access them again. While this log can be convenient, you can remove it to help protect your privacy and clear up space on your computer. You can use the settings on your Firefox browser to delete Mozilla search history.
