Is there a way to make firefox automatically delete it's history - nickchan - Feb 23, 2014

Hey guys I wanted to know if there was a way to make firefox automatically deletes it's browser history
Or what I'm looking for is for it to be able to automatically put itself in "private" mode.
Any suggestions/help would be greatly appreciated

just go into 'new private window' mode and it's anonymous n shit. it's not that hard to hit it every time you start it up ._o

I know about that but I want to know if there is a way where it will always boot into that mode

Open Firefox, click Tools > Options > click the History drop-down box and select Use custom settings for history > toggle Automatically start Firefox in a private browsing session and click OK.

oops, sorry, i'm using an older version. check options, then go under the 'privacy' tab. then you'll see the options i stated above.
edit: check what the guy above me did, just copy those settings.

You should be aware of super-cookies. They are stored through Flash and other plug-ins itself. Private browsing does not protect you from that. There are tools that allow automatic removal of such cookies upon exit. Check out add-on called "BetterPrivacy".
