Erase Firefox browser history
Mozilla Firefox is a very secure browser, the web history of the person browsing is one of the most important concern for people when it comes to usage of a browser, this becomes paramount if you are using a shared computer or a computer that other people might have access to in the future, not many people would want their history to be viewed by other. Mozilla Firefox stores all the history and private information in a place that is accessible to the user and it is easily erasable.
Mozilla Firefox stores the browsing history in the “history.dat”; this file can be found in the Firefox Profile folder, which should probably be in the default location if you had not changed anything during the installation process and is usually in (C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles/), Firefox does not store any of your private information anywhere except your local system on which the browser is installed, therefore the deletion of this data is rather a straightforward process that can be accomplished by anyone having the administrative control to make changes to the particular system, you can either delete the files here or can delete it from the browser itself by following a few easy steps. The steps are as mentioned below.
