    Mozilla Firefox users can clear their history by clicking the "Tools" menu, "Options", clicking the "Privacy" button, and under "History" click the "Clear" or "Clear Now" button.
    or
    Press CTRL + Shift + DEL to open the Clear Data Window.

    Not sure this works on "Mozzola".

    Nope!..that ain't an option for me..

    Here is what I'm trying to get rid of:




    And this is my Tool/History option...as you see I have no history CLEAR button to click..and believe me, I tried every combination of clicking on and off all these boxes..Still don't get rid of all those History addresses.

    Download Limewire (file sharing software)
    Find Norton System Works 2009
    Make sure your antivirus is on (just in case)
    Install the program (NSW2009)
    Run "Clean Up Your PC"
    Waaaa Laaaaa !

    Browser Histories, searches, cookies, Temp Files
    Internet Clutter will be gone when you want.

    At least, thats what I have and it works wonders
    on IE, I don't see why it won't work with MOZ.

    OK - to clear your browser history go into Tools, Options, Privacy, Private Data Settings and check that info you want to clear. Then click clear private data now.

    I recommend people with XP to backup their data files and do a clean system rebuild. I recommend this once a year regardless if they don't have a virus problem. It's amazing how much faster the machine runs after the system rebuilt, applications reinstalled and data files copied back.

    I agree ! SP3 for XP, IE7 etc...etc...

    Spybot 1.3, Adware Pro and a good Antivirus/Firewall Program
    should take care of those nasty internet porn add-ins (oops).
    I don't use FireFox, but it appears that Malyla's got the goods
    on the Alternative Internet Browser.

    Thanks everyone for your valuable input on Firefox! I downloaded and installed it yesterday and it is much faster and cleaner than IE. Also, my son recommended downloading the Windows Defender program from the Microsoft site. Helps ID hangups like too many programs which boot at startup. Adaware's new Anniversery version is available and a good bit faster than previous versions (and free. May avoid having to reinstall Windows for awhile longer.
