History is used by the browser to enhance your experience on the Internet. When the browser remembers a website you previously visited or the username and password for your favorite web site, this information is considered your history.

However, there may be times when you do not want other users of your computer to see or access such information. For example, perhaps if a friend or family member shares your computer, you would prefer for them not to be able to see what websites you've visited or what files you've downloaded.

Firefox 3.5 a neskoršie umožňujú zapnúť režim "Súkromné prehliadanie", ktorý vám umožňuje surfovať po internete bez toho, aby Firefox ukladal akékoľvek dáta o tom, ktoré stránky ste navštívili.

Čo režim Súkromné prehladanie nebude ukladať:

• Navštívené stránky: Žiadne stránky nebudú uložené do zoznamu stránok v menu História, the Library window's History list, or the Location bar autocomplete's address list.
• Form and Search Bar entries: Nothing you enter into text boxes on web page forms or the Search bar will be added to the list of entries for Form autocomplete.
• Passwords: no passwords will be automatically filled in during the your Private Browsing session, and no new passwords will be saved.
• Download List entries: No files you download will remain in the list in the Používame Správcu preberania súborov after you turn off Private Browsing.
• Cookies: Files created by websites, that store information on your computer, such as your preferences when visiting that site (when a website has a "remember this" checkbox, it is using a cookie) will not be stored. For more information on cookies, see Správa cookies.
• Web cache files: No temporary Internet files or cached files from web pages will be saved until you turn off Private Browsing.
