How do I *really* clear out my firefox browser history?
I've done the so-called "Clear history" function a bunch of times in a variety of ways, but none of them actually ever deleted anything in the history.

I've also restarted Fire fox a number of times just to be sure that isn't a function of the thigns get deleted after I close it down.

Seriously, why isn't this working? Pain in the ass.

Any help will be much appreciated, thank you.

4. Not really trying to hide anything, but it gets annoying when I'm typing in a URL
and shitloads of options and "autospell URL completion" keeps popping up.

3. husband tells me Firefox is a "memory hog" - doubt that has anything
to do with your question, though. I would also like the answer to this question. My husband usually says play around with the toolbar and you will figure it out before too long! :rofl:
