Firefox private browsing aka porn mode: http://www.webmonkey.com/blog/Firefox_s_Private_Browsing__AK...

A pointer to how would be useful...
go to about:config, set places.frecency.unvisitedBookmarkBonus and places.frecency.unvisitedTypedBonus to 0. Then use private browsing when you visit those "secret" links.
