The first part of the article works fine. Clearing items from the history is a piece of cake.

On the other hand, nothing changes when I’ve tried the second half of the article for the address bar stuff. Expanding the drop-down, highlighting an address and then deleting it only removes the item until I quit and then re-open the expanded menu.

I would like to see an about:config means of preventing the address bar expansion altogether. Have you any ideas on that?

@kyle and aks- If you are relying on Firefox to automatically clear your history, cookies and stuff, I hope you have better luck than I have had.

Or you could stay off websites that you shouldn’t be going on anyway

dont forget cookies, saved search terms, and maybe even flash cookies if you really want to cover your tracks

yeah… or you can just set firefox to automatically wipe all private data upon each closing of the browser. up to you.

It should be noted that this is most useful to those people who use the history regularly and would like to the rest, there are people out there who have no problem to just wipe the whole history.
