Most sites usually have cookies embedded in the site. So when you visit the site, a cookie is injected into your browser. This cookie enables the site’s administrator to know his site statistics. Also, cookies enable you to browse the net faster.

You can use the up and down arrow or the scroll bar to select the site you want. Having cookies on your browser could be bad because it stores your information like your IP, your name, your address etc.
Clearing Your Browser History
To manually clear your history, press Ctrl + H , select the day(s) you want to clear. Left click on the day(s) (this open the link on the same window) and press delete on the keyboard. Or instead of left clicking on the link, right click on the day(s) and select the delete option.
Instead of going through this little pain, just down the Firefox Stealther addon. The Stealther addon allows you to surf the web withour leaving a trace on your pc. The Stealth addon does this
- Browsing History (also in Address bar)
