    1) Open the Mozilla Firefox browser.

    2) Go to the Tools menu.

    3) At the bottom of the menu there should be either, 'Internet Options' or 'Options' then click whichever you see.

    4) A new window will appear and now you can delete your History.

    5) Just click on the 'Clear History' button and you're fine.

    Click on "TOOLS" go down to "OPTIONS" then "PRIVACY" tab & at the top it says "Remember visited pages for the last ___ days". Change this to 0 (ZERO) days. Below that under Cookies click "Accept cookies from site" but below that It says"Keep until _____". You have 3 choices, I pick the "Until I close firefox." Below that under "Private Data" I check the 'Always clear private data after I close firefox" Now you should never have to worry about someone stealing private medical or financial information again. CCleaner (free), is also a great tool for cleaning up your machine after a serious night of surfing.
