In firefox swap your finger from right to left, then click the button down-right corner whcih opens preferences and you can remove history from there

Download it at www.mozilla.com/m with your n900. WARNING* is still in beta so is pretty slow compare to the original browser integrated with the N900

I'm having the same problem - when I fire up Firefox on my N900, the first screen it displays is my history - which includes several sites I'd rather the wife/etc don't see.

I've used the preferences -> Clear private data option, but it doesn't clear the history.

Is this a bug? Is there a way to manually clear the history?

Any help appreciated.

@arjunkumar87 - what is your point?

Anyway for anyone else interested in knowing, I found a rather forceful way of deleting history including bookmarks. In my Fennec profile dir, I deleted the places.sqlite* and autocomplete.json files. Fennec automatically recreates these files if they're missing on startup.

Code:

cd /home/user/.mozilla/fennec/(random-chars).default/
rm places.sqllite* autocomplete.json

Replace (random-chars) with whatever your random profile dir is.

Note this will delete all your bookmarks too, so use with care.

I have a problem where i cant see my history at all. When i do the history swipe from left to right. only the current page im on comes up. there is no longer the "Show all history" button above the preview page. What can i do to get it back?

you can erase browsing history without going to your browser's tool option. many of the software are available in market, i am using those software to erase my browsing data the one major benefit of the software which i am using you can erase unwanted data as well as you can save the data which you want to keep in record.

maybe his point is that you shouldn't be ashamed of what you do to the extend that you don't want those ppl you should be able to trust most to see them?

I'm not ashamed. Maybe I didn't want her to see the site where I'm buying a present from?

Why are we resurrecting a 2 year old thread anyway?!
