Browser History Help please

brightonbelle62

Hi, I use Mozilla firefox as a browser and google as a homepage. Recently the programmes have started bringing up the site history in the address bar. I know how to delete the history but can't delete from the drop down address bar. Any ideas please???:D

Select-Tools/Options
Click on the Privacy Tab
Tick Always clear my private data when I close Firefox

Actually I think you may have to do this to clear from the address bar and not what I suggested above, sorry

to delete your drop down list on the address bar you go to "bookmarks" -> "recently bookmarked" then delete whatever by right clicking and deleting

Actually just noticed that the 12 websites that appear in my drop down address menu are actually the bottom 12 in my list of bookmarks in reverse order so it doesnt actually display any history of places I've visited

Thanks for your help. Had to go onto the firefox help pages to sort it - apparently its a recent 'improvement' with firefox 3. I wish I could keep up with stuff
