Is there a way to simulate clearing all history

Tools -> Clear Recent History -> Everything

from the command line in Windows 7?

I'm writing test automation and this would come in handy when running my tests

not an answer to your question, but please update to Firefox 20.0.1 before continuing to use the internet. Update Firefox to the latest release

The following article documents the available command line switches: https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Mozilla/Command_Line_Options

I don't see that option in there, but what do you think about starting Firefox in private browsing mode for your test?

Hello

"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -chrome "chrome://browser/content/preferences/sanitize.xul"


UPDATE : the next is the correct :

"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -chrome "chrome://browser/content/sanitize.xul"

forget the first

thank you
