Deleting search history from Firefox search engines

I just read an interesting post on Download Squad which showed how to disable the search suggestion feature on Firefox search plug-ins. I am kicking myself because I have been trying to work out for ages if it is possible. Now I’ve discovered that all I had to do was right-click on the search box! Doh!

But when I right-click on the Firefox search box to take a look, I also discover something else - a one-click way to delete your entire search history within Firefox. It’s right above enabling / disabling search suggestions. I know you can easily delete your search history by deleting your cache and personal info from Firefox but that involves several clicks. Right-clicking on the search engine box and choosing “delete search history” is two clicks. Useful for when you want to delete those embarrassing search queries in a hurry.
