How to remove temporary information, such as web page cookies, browser history, or the list of recently-opened documents in Ubuntu 10.10 system (Maverick)

They are two way that i now . The First way is
By default, Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome Web browsers all store a few pieces of information about the websites you visit and interact with. In addition to logging the time, date, title and URL of every page you view, each browser also stores the data you enter into search boxes or other form fields. Although this feature is intended to help you access information more quickly, it also exposes your usage history to anyone with access to your computer Deleting these autofill entries requires just a few clicks.

Instructions:- Mozilla Firefox
Click “Tools” in the top menu bar and select “Clear Recent History.”

Click the “Time range to clear” drop-down menu near the top of the resulting window and select “Everything.”Click the adjacent “Details” button to view Firefox’s history removal options. Check only the “Form & Search History” box. Click the “Clear Now” button.
