Disable Download History in Firefox

By VJ | Dec 15, 2007

By default, when you download some files in Firefox, it will keep a history of files you have downloaded and you need to manually delete the history. Sometimes it can be embarrassing when the other person looks at the files you have downloaded, as it happened to me once :( . But there is a option in Firefox by which you can disable the download history to be created. This has definitely saved me in many situations from being in trouble. To disable this feature follow these simple steps.

  1. Open Firefox, and go to Tools –> Options
  2. Click the Privacy tab, and look for Remember what I’ve downloaded in History section.
  3. Untick Remember what I’ve downloaded, and click Ok.

    4. Firefox History

You are now done with it :) .

    Couple of days back i was googling how to disable the autocomplete in forms. In IE And Firefox. I think rather than hiding these stuffs in privacy tabs in Firefox and content tabs in IE, I think these options should be part of General tab. Its a stuff which most ppl look to enable and disable and finding the option takes so much time. :) .

    You should be embarrassed only if you have downloaded something fishy. ;-)
    Good tip anyways.
