A lot of people ask me how to clear the browsing history from their web browser, this is the most common question asked by those who are new to the internet. This can be done by deleting the temp files and history. Firefox has the simple “Clear Private Data” option for deleting history and cached files. Now that Internet Explorer 8 and Chrome has the Private Browsing mode, Firefox is going to include the private browsing mode in their next release(3.1) which is going to be released soon. Currently they have included the Private browsing option in their Pre-release.

What is Private Browsing Mode?

1. No browsing history will be recorded on enabling the Private browsing mode.
2. Pages wont be cached.
3. There will be no auto-complete for passwords and new passwords entered will not be saved.
4. No cookies will be saved.
5. No entries will be left in the download manager.
6. All the pages visited will be saved in the memory instead of harddisk.

To toggle the private browsing mode in Firefox 3.1: Goto Tools > Private Browsing.

Here is a method to start the Private browsing mode in Firefox 3.1 by default:

1. Open Firefox, Type auto:config in the address and hit enter.
2. Click I’ll be careful, I promise
3. Type browser.privatebrowsing.autostart in Filter text-box, make the value true by double clicking.
