Tip: Delete entries from Firefox’s form/address history

Tip: Delete entries from Firefox’s form/address history

Firefox, like many other browsers, is convenient in that it saves auto-completion data for the address bar and form elements. The problem is that it also saves ones I accidentally submit with typos. I know I’ve always hated wading through a list of old/expired/irrelevant searches when trying to auto-complete one of these boxes, so I stumbled upon a neat trick to fix my problem:

Highlight any one of the entries you don’t need and press SHIFT+DEL. It’s gone!

    Google Chrome's Anonymous Window would be a better way to watch porn and avoid detection... I mean... you could easily be trying to delete the history for another reason. o_O But I'm just saying.

Howdy, Stranger!
