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