Firefox 3.6.3 Private Data ?

Brightsun, the answer to that depends on what you are trying to accomplish. If you want to browse without a trace, you can always use the private browsing option and everything is automatically gone when you close the private browsing session.

I keep history for 30 days. Many times, I want to go back to a site or a specific part of a site and I can do this through the history. I keep cookies to facilitate logging in to various websites and to keep my settings on some websites. I do go through my cookies monthly and delete those I don't want. If I want to browse without a trace, I use private browsing.

I don't have Firefox store my passwords. I enter a password every time. However, many sites have an option to "stay logged in". If you select this option, it is done through cookies. So when I am deleting cookies, I don't delete sevenforums cookies. By doing so, I don't have log in - I don't enter my username nor my password.

I went through the support artice It describes all the available options and and answered my questions I got the clearing history cookies cache I did not understand when you clear everything do you have to check passwords to resave passwords ?

This is how I have mine setup. For security reasons, I do not save passwords on my computer.

If you want Firefox to save passwords, you must have "Remember passwords for sites" checked.
