May 22, 2009 by Amit Bhawani

I have been using the built-in search box which comes preinstalled in my firefox browser, and daily i make some searches, but i recently found that when i just start typing something in the same search box, the previously searched keywords diretly show up there, revealing all my previous searches which is not a good feature. Anyway i can disable this feature to remove or hide the previous searches? – Question by Ashwin Kumar

    The above does not work for me. I can clear history from the main history list but search box (set to google or msn) refuses to clear. Even if I delete individual items when I make my next search they still appear.
