If you mean the autocomplete thing that tries to finish typing the website for you since you have visited before. Deleting that internet history as David said, deletes that too, but if you wanna completely stop it from autocompleting for you. Go to Tools > Internet Options > Content > Auto Complete > uncheck the web address option, and that should stop it from doing that. Hope that helps for your problem.Here is a good free program http://www.ccleaner.com/
you may also want to delete cookies, and delete files. you can delete old autocomplete entries by going to tools>>internet options>>content>>AutoComplete>>ClearForms and ClearPasswords
somebody with computer know-how can view what sites you’ve been to. all the sites you have been to are stored in a file named “index.dat”. to get rid of this file you must run specialty programs. SuperCleaner (http://southbaypc.com/, not free) works well, but any other “history cleaner”/”track eraser” you can find online should do the trick.
unlike internet explorer when you clear your history in firefox there is no secret file that stores extra information.. which can be pretty usefull.. especially if you need to protect your privacy.
I would highly recommend Softes Windows Cleaner 2005: http://www.softes.org/downloads.htm
