Firefox - Clearing visited sites

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.





How long can i resist the temptation to drop a V8 in?

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.
