This is an easy question, yet I could not find the answer
in the "help" files. How do you clear all the website
addresses that pop up in the address bar? If I'm shopping
online for my husband, he will be able to guess his
birthday present, just by checking on where I've been!

Hope you can assist.

Thanks!
