Firefox Private Browsing

The reason can be anything. either sites that you visit are confidential (relating to your business) or may be too personal that should not be viewed by others. It may become tedious task to
delete your browsing data every time. For an example; if you have browsed for more than 4 hours and you want to delete all that history, either you will have to delete history of that entire day or you will have to see for all the websites that you have visited and delete them one by one from History. Both the situations are not feasible right? So what else you can do?  You can use Private Browsing Option in Firefox.
