Firefox Address Bar

One funny thing I’ve seen while attending a corporate presentation is have one guy try to access a website typing a few letters and have the address bar history refer him to the porn sites he had visited. Imagine the embarrassment of that guy and the crazy looks everyone had. But whether it’s hiding traces of your “deeds” over the Net, it’s always a good thing to clean your Address Bar history.

For a quick purge of your Browsing History:

  • Press Ctrl + Shift + Del to launch the Clear Private Data Menu
  • Check the Browsing History checkbox
  • Click OK

To delete individual entries in the Address Bar History:

  • Press the Ctrl + L shortcut to go to the Address Bar
  • Press backspace to clear the bar
  • Start typing the first few letters of the item you want to delete
  • Press the down (and up) arrow keys to cycle through the entries
  • Press the Delete key to delete the entry
