I was wondering how to clear the
following privacy in Firefox 3.6.16:- when typing address in the address
bar, the history meeting the partial
typing provided by auto-completion. - without doing anything, the drop-down list of addresses in
address bar
Is it possible to just clear the
former without clearing the latter, and without actually clearing the history i.e. you can still get the history by clickingHistory->Show All History
? - when typing address in the address
- What is the general strategy of
protecting one's own privacy, while
keeping the history as much as
possible? My case is using Firefox
on my personal laptop, which will
occasionally be used by others under
my account, for example, to help me
solve some problems by typing some webpage address and visiting them in Firefox.
Operating systems are Windows 7 & Ubuntu 10.10

In Preferences, on the Privacy tab, there is a settings called When using the location bar, suggest:. Setting it to Nothing appears to affect both actions you mentioned: auto-complete while typing, and click the drop-down arrow. I don't think those two can be separated.
