You've already had responses for the case of clearing browsing history wholesale through the point-and-click UI, but so far it looks like no one has touched on the case of deleting items from browsing history piecemeal. You're probably already aware that if you type into the Firefox address bar a fragment of a URL which you've already visited (e.g., the domain name), Firefox will display a drop-down area with a list of URLs it remembers that you've visited which contain that fragment. If you use the arrow keys to navigate down to one of those suggested URLs, hold Shift, and press Delete, that entry will be deleted from the suggestion list - and, I think, from the Firefox browsing history entirely. If there's any way to prevent this functionality from being available, I'm not aware of it. Maybe preventing history from being remembered at all might work, but I'm not positive even about that. (I think this is intended primarily to allow users to clean up history entries which result from mistyped URLs - 404 pages, domain-squatter domains, that sort of thing - so they don't clutter future autocomplete suggestions. I've certainly used it for that purpose myself in the past.) - -- Andrew J.
