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)
- Cookies
- Downloaded Files History
- Disk Cache
- Saved Form Information
- Sending of ReferrerHeader
- Recently Closed Tabs list
From the addon review, there are some complaint about the stealth addon. The complaints include like the stealth addon doesn’t delete all the history. Some complaints are that the addon delete every history from the browser. i.e the history you have when you turn off the stealth addon. The reviews are here. Download stealth addon
