Hello, Is there a way on Firefox Browser to permanently delete a URL from my History and have it not record future searches for that URL?

Example: I delete URL on History. I search for that URL again. I look back in my History and find that URL not recorded in the History. In other words, no matter how many times I use that URL, it will not pop in my History ever, that being a selective, automatic URL deletion from the web History for all future searches of that URL.

Thanks, Austin Reynolds

I think that you neede to open these URLs in a New Private Window to prevent recording history.

Maybe there is an extension that has this feature, you can search the https://addons.mozilla.org website.

You can remove all data stored in Firefox for a specific domain via "Forget About This Site" in the right-click context menu of an history entry ("History -> Show All History" or "View -> Sidebar -> History").

Using "Forget About This Site" will remove all data stored in Firefox for this domain like history and cookies and passwords and exceptions and cache, so be cautious. If you have a password or other data for that domain that you do not want to lose then make sure to backup this data or make a note.

You can't recover from this 'forget' unless you have a backup of involved files.

If you revisit a 'forgotten' website then data for that website will be saved once again.
