FireFox Web Broswer Question


Question Posted Monday October 3 2011, 7:48 pm

Here's something I don't understand. When you clear your history on FireFox for Windows 7 it erases like it's supposed to. However, the minute I type a letter into the address bar to go to a site it comes up with a list of sites starting with that letter that you can go to. How do I make it so the address bar doesn't bring that up when I type? I hope you understand what I mean. I have no other way of putting it.

Using CCleaner, which is free, will clean out history and log files and cookies that the the normal Firefox clear history misses. I run it daily and believe me, it takes loads of garbage off of your computer.

It depends on which version of Firefox you are using (which you can see in Help > About Firefox), but you can probably go to Tools > Options > Privacy > Location Bar > "When using the location bar, suggest:" and then select "Nothing" from the dropdown list.

If you have an earlier version, you will need to change the browser.urlbar.maxRichResults preference to 0 in about:config.
