I'm sharing a laptop; we have separate login accounts. Can I keep my viewing history private?

I'm a separate user on a laptop (separate Windows 7 account login) - how can I keep my Firefox viewing history SEPARATE & UNVIEWABLE from the people I'm sharing the laptop with?

Well, you can certainly just set it to delete, otherwise, I'm not sure, sorry.

(image is at Tools -> Options -> Privacy tab) 

The drop down menu allows you to delete all browsing history instead of saving it.

(I'm not seeing the image on my post, but the instruction above is fairly easy to follow)

Make sure that others do not use your Windows account and if necessary then create a new Windows account for other users.
