Firefox Tip: Clear your file download history

Weblog Of Zen and Computing reports that you may be able to speed up Firefox by clearing out its Download history.

By default, the ‘fox keeps a record of every single file you’ve downloaded – whether it’s still on your hard drive or not – in its Downloads dialog, unless you clear it. To do so, from the dialog, hit the “Clean up” button. I don’t know how much this list actually affects performance, but it’s a good way to make sure the next person who uses your browser doesn’t see you just downloaded a video called naughty.avi.
