Comments: Deleting items from the address bar history

3 comments

Now and then I end up with web site addresses (URLs) in the history drop down menu of Firefox's address bar that I don't want to have there. The address or addresses sometimes ended up in the history because of a typing mistake, a lot of testing of a web application on a local installation of Apache, or just because I visited a site a lot. Since I often use the history function of Firefox's address bar - also known as location bar or URL bar - I clean it up now and then, and this article describes how it's done.

Thanks much! Can't believe how hard it was to find this trick ... many times I've tried various Google searches without luck.

Didn't work for me...guess this was a result of an auto upgrade and I don't like it.
