I used to be able to ensure that a history of my browsing was not kept in previous versions through "tools", but this is apparently no longer an option in 6.0.2. How do I set browsing history to automatically delete or prevent it from being kept at all?
Maybe I just don't know what I'm doing, but in 6.0.2, all of the history keeping options no longer appear to exist...unless there's a hidden tools/options menu that I simply can't find.
If the only option for erasing browser history is to go into history and manually delete each line item, this version (6.0.2) is totally useless to me from a security perspective.
If anybody knows a solution SPECIFIC TO 6.0.2, please advise. I know that it's an easy fix in previous versions.
Thanks!!!

You seem to be missing the Tools and Help menu items on the Menu bar.
Try the Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there.
A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.
(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)
- You can open the Firefox 4/5/6/7 SafeMode by holding the Shft key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
- Or use the Help menu item, click on Restart with Add-ons Disabled... while Firefox is running.
Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."
To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.
If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.

- Tools > Options > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history"
See also Clear Recent History
"Tools" option does not show in my version. Am running it on XP Professional.
I have the following tabs available only:
File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks.
Tools/Options does not show under any of these tabs.
The only options available under History are "Show all history" and "Restore previous session"
Any other ideas?
Thanks!
