In this resource I will give a very simple technique you can use to to clear all user preferences and private data like cookies or web history from Mozilla Firefox.

1.Go to C drive of your computer.

2.Open Documents and Settings->Your User Name->Application Data

3.Then delete the Mozilla Firefox folder.
This will clear all user preferences and private data like cookies or web history from Mozilla Firefox and will create a new Mozilla folder.

4.In case you are not able to locate the Application Data folder, it is probably because it is hidden. In order to view, open up a folder and go to Tools, then click Folder Options and then click view hidden files

5.Then repeat the above process from 1 to 3 .
This is a very simple method to clear all user preferences and private data like cookies or web history from Mozilla Firefox

In case you only want to remove the cache, cookies, and web history and not your custom browser settings, then go to Firefox and go to Tools and then click on Clear Private Data.
