Anyone else with kids and using firefox for smurfing should consider this. THe new firefox since ver 3 will suggest 12 websites that you have recently visited after you type just one letter.. So a smart kids can just type 26 letters and see what 300 of your last websites have been. not good when they hit the letter "S".
This occurs even if you erase your cookies and history every time you exit firefox.
Cant be to careful with the tech savy teens of today.

Or, don't let your kids use your account. They should have their own non-administrator user account.
I don't have it come up on firefox if i clear all cookies, cache, history, etc.
Stupid chrome does it though so I hafta go thru and double check everything so that my in-laws don't see where I've been if I use that computer during the day. lulz.
My personal computer is password protected amongst other things though. So I don't have issues with that one.

Try private browsing, in Chrome hold CTRL + Shift + N, in FireFox CTRL + SHIFT + P,
that will pop up a new window that does not retain browsing history, Saved our ass many times
with friends coming over to use the laptop, or the kids who are getting older and wiser..

Ok folks, I do computer security for a living. As was previously stated all parents should have their own logon name and password. One login identity can not see the other login
Yes a password account is good and I use firefox in private mode but in case you forget it seems to me that swingular will come up in another account ?? I may be wrong..

I can say make sure your skype logs are not saved for sure. and log off and not just close skype
