I am sure that this is either a dumb question or a repeat (probably both). But, I don't know what to call it, so my searches have not found anything.

My parents may be moving in with me for a few months as part of a move and there are certain parts of my electronic life I don't want them stumbling upon. I have created another user account that is password protected and moved my jpeg files there. I am not sure if I will be able to undo this with my questionable computer skills, but that is for later. What is more important is that when I start to type something for Google to find (whether on the Firefox bar or on my homepage) I get a series of previous searches, and some of them I would prefer my mother not see. Is there a way to clear these, because I can't find it.
