Rep Power: 4 | Hi,
You can clear the history of Firefox this way.
Go to Tools->Options->Privacy.
Having gone there you can notice a History with a + that gets expanded when you click on it.You can specify the number of days the history should be stored and there is also a clear button available. Click on that to clear the history.
Hope this answers your questions.

Rep Power: 3 | Hit Ctrl+H then delete the individual days by right clicking on them and then selecting delete, or you could just highlight the day and hit your delete button if you wish. | |

Rep Power: 3 | Ooooh thanks for the information. It's kinda hard to switch from IE to Firefox because everything is so different, and located in odd places. | |

Rep Power: 4 | But once you start using Firefox you will never go back to IE, I can assure you of that

Rep Power: 3 | Actually, I went back to IE when some of my favorite websites weren't even showing up. I do miss all the features of Firefox that I liked, though (tabs and built in pop up blocker). | |

Rep Power: 4 | I couldn't live without Tabs now.
I think IE7 is going to have tabbed browsing; I guess they are copying Firefox with that one.

Rep Power: 3 | I always keep my history clean every few months, it tends to take up a lot of room if I don't clear it. | |
