If you’re like most people, you use Firefox to browse the web. But what if you want to clear your browsing history without having to go through the browser’s menus? You can clear your history with a keyboard shortcut. To clear your browsing history in Firefox, press Ctrl+Shift+H. This will open the History menu, and from here you can select “Clear History.” ..
Before
Unless you use “Private Browsing Mode” 100% of the time, you are naturally going to have browser history build up. Most of the time this is nothing to worry about but what if you:
Forgot to use “Private Browsing Mode” and need an extremely quick way to delete the history. Just want a simple way to instantly clear out the history “clutter and build up” while your browser is still open.
There is no help for deleting history in the “History Menu”…
You could do manual deletions in the “History Sidebar”…but this is not the most efficient method.
Or if you prefer you could have modified the “Privacy Options” ahead of time.
But even with the modifications available in the “Privacy Options” you will still have to wait until your close your browser.
Even selecting “Never remember history” may not be the best choice for you. What you need is a “quick and easy” on-demand option.
After
After restarting you will find a new menu entry in your “History Menu”. All that you need to do to delete all of your browser’s history is click on “Clear history” or use the keyboard shortcut “Meta + Alt + C”.
Instant satisfaction…it just does not get any easier than that while you have your browser open in a regular browsing session.
Conclusion
If you need to clear your browser’s history at a moment’s notice or just want to remove the history “clutter and build up” then you will absolutely love Clear History’s one click cleaning goodness.
