When Firefox remembers a website you previously visited or stores your login information for your favorite web site, this information is considered your history.
There may be times when you do not want other users of your computer to see or access such information. For example, if a friend or family member shares your computer, you might prefer that they not to be able to see what websites you've visited or what files you've downloaded.
Firefox allows you to clear all or part of your history automatically or upon request. This article describes how to clear your history and how to set Firefox to clear your history automatically. To temporarily have Firefox not store any history, see [[Private Browsing]].
