How do I Totally Clear Firefox Web History?
Firefox, a free web browser developed by Mozilla, automatically keeps a record of recently visited websites. This record is called the "history," and can be referenced from within the browser. Firefox's history also generates a list of suggested websites as a user types a url or search term into the browser's address bar. Firefox's history can be manually cleared (typically for organization or privacy purposes) by following a series of simple steps.
