Hi.

In IE 8 there is a provision under Tools -> Delete Browsing History to Preserve Favorites Website Data, like CNN and MSNBC settings, etc.

I don't see how I can do this in FF 4.

I tried leaving the Site Preferences box unchecked, to no avail. All of my personal website settings are deleted anyway.

What's up?

If you use Delete browsing, search and download history on Firefox then all data that you have selected will be removed. There is no provision to keep data from specific websites.

Clearing "Site Preferences" clears all exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, and passwords.

Could you please clarify this for me?

Des this mean every time I clear my History, I need to re-input all of my settings, including iGoogle?

Bit confused here.

How come it is a no-brainer in IE?

Thanks. :0)
