How to Delete All Bookmarks & History in Mozilla Firefox
By default, Firefox stores your browsing history so you can launch the same websites and content quickly anytime you want. Firefox also allows you to store bookmarks--your favorite websites--so you can launch them quickly without typing the URL addresses each time. If your web browser is running into errors, including slow display speeds, you can delete all bookmarks and history.
