Every links that you have typed in the address bar will be stored in History. And you can clear all those links at once by clearing the History. But how you can delete individual links from the address bar?

Mozilla Firefox
To delete spesific url from Firefox address bar is really easy. You just need to SHIFT-DELETE the url and it will be gone.

Internet Explorer
To do this in IE is a little bit complex. Because you will play with the registry. So backup your registry before you proceed.

  1. Close your IE.
  2. Run regedit.exe from Start > Run.
  3. Go to this tree: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\TypedURLs
  4. Delete all numbered urls that you don’t wish to visiable in IE address bar. But make sure you renamed the urls in sequential order start from url1, if you delete only certain keys.
  5. Close regedit.exe

Firefox 2

[via BetaNews]

Have you upgrade your Firefox to Firefox 1.5.0.7 yet? The new update has been released yesterday. Yesterday, while I surfed the Internet, suddenly there was a pop-up from my Firefox browser asking me to install the latest version. So I chose ok and it install the latest updates in a minute.

Some of my friends (Internet Explorer users) asked me why I use Firefox. With calm and confidence I answered the question. :d I said that, with Firefox you can surf the net with tabbed browsing. Which means you no need to open new window if you want to visit other sites. Beside than that, there are many themes and extensions that you can use to enhance the usebility of your Firefox. And all of them are free to download.

I’m using 6 extensions for my Firefox and use Mostly Crystal as my Firefox theme. I really like Mostly Crystal. The theme uses colourful icons and there are really nice. You can see the screenshot below.
