Unable To Delete Google History

[Explorer-8]

I am using Firefox with Linux. I have deleted my search history from the "show all history" menu. I cannot delete my browsing history from Google. When I type in any letters it shows all my previous browsing words. I have tried "Firefox > History > Clear recent history > details > choose all options > clear now", but that didn't make any difference. Internet Explorer used to delete browsing history from the tools menu, but there isn't anything like that in Firefox. Please help!

Tools > Options > Privacy > Location Bar.
Select either 'Bookmarks' or 'Nothing'.

you can get Firefox to delete all your browsing history every time you close it, which I find useful. Help > Firefox Help > Privacy and security settings > How do I make Firefox clear my history automatically?

what are you all browsing for that you have to be so secretive ;)

I could tell you - but we'd have to shoot you ... ;)

I've just noticed that it's your web searches, rather than your address bar, that's causing the problem.

Thank you - it worked.
