Notes

  1. Very roundabout way of doing this - Prefs > Privacy > Private Data Settings > Uncheck non-history stuff > OK > Clear Private Data Now
  2. History is accessed through bookmarks manager
  3. There is a "Top 10 List"
  4. "Popularity" - I think this is total number of visits to a site
  5. This is simply "Select All" > Delete
  6. Same as regular search
  7. There's a command there, but it doesn't work
  8. Same as the privacy settings
