You can use CCleaner to remove everything if required. It is free and easy to use.

Anett – You can try selecting “use custom settings for history” from same list and then removing the tick mark next to “remember my browsing history”.
Hi there,
I tried all the things to set my firefox on ” never show history” and it’s still showing them ,am i missing something ?
Anett – You can try changing “never show history” to “use custom settings for history” and remove checkmark next to “remember my browsing history”.
@ Internet parental control : You can do that or use private browsing mode in Firefox.
I guess I’ll be manually deleting history to prevent the disk form ‘overflowing’ until FF is updated to allow real history control by the user.
