Example; when I go some chat sites, the Firefox remembers every past writed things and suggestions them when I try to write new words. Like some sentens which I have wroted are now back on the write field, and I don't want them to showed up.

H0w do I get this opreation off? No more past writed things writing field different sites?

Do the following please.

  1. Click the Firefox button and then go to History | Clear Recent History.

  2. In the dialog box which appears, change the setting in the dropdown menu at the top to "Everything".

  3. In the list underneath that, checkmark "Form and Search History" (remove the checkmark from all the others).

  4. Click the "Clear Now" button.

  5. Next, click the Firefox button again, go to Options | Options | Privacy.

  6. In the dropdown menu at the top, choose "Use custom settings for history"

  7. In the list of options which appears below that, remove the checkmark from "Remember search and form history" and "Clear history when Firefox closes".

  8. Click OK.

Should work.
