Firefox - Clearing visited sites
speedyxjs - 16/12/08 at 05:42 PM

You know, for example, when you type the letters yo in the address bar and a list pops up with all the sites you have visited with the letters yo in them. I want to clear it as there are LOADS and it might be taking up alot of space on my pc.

Tools->Clear Private Data

Then clear the Browsing History.

Iv'e heard that one aswell

better is if you go

Tools, Options, Privacy tab, and check the box marked "always clear my private data" or something like that, and personally I also have checked the box beneath it so it checks with you everytime you close firefox whether you want your personal/private information deleted.

Good excuse

I always clear the history cache on my web browser before letting my wife surf the web. So nice of me to ensure she gets speedy surfing

Now that you've done that, does it still try to 'autofill' when you type the first few letters? Mine does , not from history, but from all my bookmarked pages.

Press ctrl-shift-del and you get all the options you need.
