history cookies cache preferences

Firefox allows you to clear all or part of your history (browsing, download and search history, cookies, cache, site preferences) automatically or upon request. This article describes how to clear your history and how to set Firefox to clear your history automatically.

{for fx3} This article describes a feature available in Firefox 3.5 and later, '''Clear Recent History''', which gives more control in managing your private data. In addition to being able to clear all or part of your saved history items, you can specify how much of your history is cleared (e.g. the last hour). <br/> [[Image:dc83bef63b83bac0c4f29a23fe07e0f0-1259119863-720-1.png]] <br/> * To use this feature, [[Updating Firefox|update to the latest version of Firefox]]. * To find information on clearing browsing history in Firefox 3.0.x, see [[Clearing Private Data]]. {/for} As you browse the web, Firefox helpfully remembers lots of information for you – sites you've visited, files you've downloaded and more. All of this information is called your history. However, if you are using a public computer or share a computer with someone, you may not want others to be able to see these kinds of things. This article explains what information is stored in your history and gives you step-by-step ways to clear all of part of it. To temporarily have Firefox not store any history, see [[Private Browsing]]. __TOC__ {for not fx35} {for win}[[Video:Clear Recent History Screencast]]{/for} {/for} = What things are included in my history? = * '''Browsing & Download History''': Browsing history is the list of sites you've visited that are shown in the History menu, the Library window's History list, and the [[Location bar autocomplete]]'s address list. Download history is the list of files you've downloaded that are shown in the [[Downloads window]]. * '''Form & Search Bar History''': Form history includes the items you've entered into web page forms for [[Form autocomplete]]. Search Bar history includes items you've entered into Firefox's [[Search bar]]. * '''Cookies''': [[Cookies]] store information about websites you visit, such as site preferences or login status. * '''Cache''': The cache stores temporary files, such as web pages and other online media, that Firefox downloaded from the Internet to speed up loading of pages and sites you've already seen. * '''Active Logins''': If you have logged in to a website that uses encryption since you most recently opened Firefox, that site is considered "active". Clearing this logs you out of those sites. * '''Site Preferences''': Site-specific preferences, including the saved [[Page zoom|zoom]] level for sites, character encoding, and the permissions for sites (like pop-up blocker exceptions) described in the [[Page Info window#Permissions|Page Info window]]. = How do I clear my history? = {for win,fx35} [[Video:1e4e4934a7b2e5ed2c5f747a17b37556-1268417052-437-0]] {/for} {for mac,fx35} [[Video:1e4e4934a7b2e5ed2c5f747a17b37556-1268161694-470-0]] {/for} #{for win,linux}At the top of the Firefox window{/for}{for mac}On the menu bar{/for}, click on the {for fx35}{menu Tools}{/for}{for mac,linux,fx4}{menu Tools}{/for}{for win,fx4}{menu Firefox} menu, go over to the {menu History} menu and select {menu Clear Recent History...}{/for}{for not win,fx4} menu, and select {/for}{for win,fx35}{menu Clear Recent History...}{/for}{for mac,linux}{menu Clear Recent History...}{/for} {for win,fx4}<br>'''For Windows XP:''' At the top of the Firefox window, click on the {menu Tools} menu and select {menu Clear Recent History...}{/for}<br>{for win,fx35}<br><br> [[Image:dc83bef63b83bac0c4f29a23fe07e0f0-1259119863-720-6.png]] <br> {/for}{for win,fx4}[[Image:History Win1]]{/for}{for mac,fx4}<br><br>[[Image:History Mac1]]{/for}{for linux,fx4}[[Image:History Lin1]]{/for} # Select how much history you want to clear: #* Click the drop-down menu next to''' Time range to clear''' to choose how much of your history Firefox will clear. <br>{/for}{for win}[[Image:History Win2]]{/for}{for mac}[[Image:History Mac2]]{/for}{for linux}[[Image:History Lin2]]{/for} #*Next, click the arrow next to '''Details''' to select exactly what information will get cleared.
