Ya I know sometimes my brain is just frozen and just doesn't work
properly. How the hell do you clear the browser's cache?
I've got Mozilla and when I type something in google I don't want
any previous suggestion of what I typed. How do I clear that?
I think that by the same token I will clear all my password
everywhere am I correct.

I'm not on ff at the present but clearing the cache won't do it. It might be a google or ff option - I'll check it out when I get on ff.

Your passwords are stored in 2 files in ff - if you clear your cookies you will have to log on again , using the saved I'd/password.

dobe, you may have noticed for FireFox in that same “Tools” area you have the option to remove everything automatically.

Tools > Options > Privacy > Put a check in “clear history when Foxfire closes”. Click on the “settings” tab, here put a check mark on what you want cleared.

This is one of the many nice features included with the FireFox browser.

This will clear your search history , amongst other things , but it will start saving it again .

To turn off suggestions : bring up google.com , right upper corner click on search settings and at bottom of page Query suggestions tick of do not provide.

A better over all method which I use is downloading ff addon noscript - this not only eliminates all kind of garbage from poping up when opening a page but makes the page load much faster - combined with adblock plus and you have an add free browser.
