I think it would be easier to clear the cache and other data (possibly including history if you wish) automatically when the browsers close. There are usually settings available to do that.

Only the > bookmark www.hotmail.de<http://www.hotmail.de>. If you mean an actual bookmark, clearing the history will not remove this. For Firefox: Settings > Privacy and Security - Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed - History -- Clear history when Firefox closes [Settings...] There are options for what to clear if you click the "settings" button, such as - browsing history - cookies - cache So there seem to be two ways to clear cookies and site data when closing Firefox, but I'm not sure if the options under History > Settings include all the "site data" removed by the other setting.
