I recently did a shamefull thing, I googgled ABBA and TAKE THAT

Now in my fear of being found out i have tried to delete the SEARCH from comming up if you double click etc ... this is easily done in IEXPLOER by highlighting and hitting the DELETE key ... but it aint working on FIREPOX

Please oh please could someone tell me how to delete the history in firepox so i can hide my shame

Tools > Options > Privacy

Several options there to clear history/data etc.

Another Firefox convert

Blimey! I had no idea this was possible! So what do us Safari/Mac users do?

Thank you Blagman, for reseaching this topic - as it was something which was confusing me.

Block all the cookies, never store a history, stop 'auto-complete', and if you do like to visit 'junk' sites, then do be sure to scan for spyware at least once a month.

Blags, there is a way in Firefox to delete individual history items rather than clearing the lot. It involves opening the history bar on the lft and selecting the item to be deleted. That's the tricky bit - highlighting an item. It can be done. You then simply hit the Delete button on your keyboard. When I get home I'll try and figure it out. Corporate policy dictates we use standard web browser (M$ Internet Explorer). I say stuff corporate policy, give me a decent and more secure product like Firefox.

It's quite tricky to select items using the mouse but it can be done.

Open the History.
Right-click on the item you want to delete. Right-clicking opens a menu and Delete should be one of the options so you can select it and Delete that page.
When the menu disappears you'll notice the next page in the History is properly highlighted.
You can now delete an entire pages in one go using the usual Shift+arrow key to select pages next to eachother.
You can also select multiple pages that aren't next to eachother using CTRL+arrow key (and selecting using the Spacebar - but remember to keep holding down CTRL key). You can't use the left mouse button to select as this selects the page to view.

Incidentally, for anyone who's interested there are loads of really good plug-ins at Firefox Add-ons page
