Clear browser history

Question

I wrote the following code to clear the browser history and it\'s working correctly in Internet Explorer but it does not work in Mozilla Firefox. How can I solve this proble

Answer 1

1. Do NOT try to break the back button
2. Instead on the page you want not to return to use location.replace(url)

Also your code can be vastly simplified - but be aware it does not CLEAR the history. You cannot clear the history, only keep a page from getting into the history or as you try, break the back button

function DisablingBackFunctionality() {
// get the query string including ?
  var passed =window.location.search; 
// did we receive ?X
  if (passed && passed.substring(1) =="X") { 
// if so, replace the page in the browser (overwriting this page in the history)
    window.location.replace("http://localhost:8085/FruitShop/"); 
  }
}
