How To Log Out Of Facebook With FireFox

I have been reading that a lot of people are getting a little annoyed with Facebooks log out feature. People are saying that they log out but are still not actually fully logged out of Facebook. Some people claim that this is Facebooks way of keeping track of what visitors are doing after they think they have logged out. Who knows. But It wouldn’t surprise me if they were using some kind of tracking feature that may come in the form of a cookie, temporary file or similar.

All you have to do to log out of Facebook is clear all your recent history in FireFox. Please Note: Clearing all history in FireFox will literally clear everything from your whole web session. You will be logged out of everything that you were logged into, including Facebook. All browsing history and temporary files, cookies etc will be deleted. If you don’t know what all this means it’s nothing to worry about. It’s not going to mess your computer up or anything. It just means you will have to log back in to anything you wanted to stay logged into. Also you won’t be able to press back on your browsers open web pages you were looking at because the history will be deleted. No big deal.

To clear everything and log out of Facebook properly.

In FireFox > Go to the Tools tab > Click Clear Recent History. Make sure that Browsing & Download History > Form & Search History > Cookies > and Cache are all selected with a tick in their boxes. Press Clear Now. That should be it.

I say to delete all these because I don’t know what method Facebook are using to make sure users are not fully logged out so best to just clear the lot. I have already done this myself and it sure does log you completely out of Facebook. You could experiment if you like and just have one box ticked, such as Cookies, and see if that logs you out properly.
