It seems that it is impossible to delete your HIstory files. This kind of renders the privacy functions on KM irrelevant. This is the only problem I have with KM, but it's a serious security hole which for me renders it unuseable. Unless someone can explain how I can delete the history files, i'll be back using Internet Explorer, unfortunately.
Best wishes.

if you mean the list under the 'url' box, that's stored in prefs.js. it's documented fairly well on the documentation page, as well as 3 or 4 times in this very forum.

That's right, i want to delete the URL history. I've followed aprevious thread about this problem, and had the same difficulties. When you try to delete the history files, it asks you whether you wish to save the changes. I hit 'yes', and the files are still there on the URL bar. What am I doing wrong?
I appreciate your help.

you'll probably have to edit the prefs.js file manually in notepad after you completely exit k-meleon (you might want to create a shortcut to it)... there's a problem saving from the preferences dialog in the current release.
