Make the autocomplete menu show only typed addresses and not visited or bookmarked * Enter about:config in the location bar to access the advanced preferences. Accept the “This may void your warranty message”. * Look for browser.urlbar.matchOnlyTyped and double click it to set it to TRUE. 2. Change the number of suggestions displayed in the autocomplete menu * Enter about:config in the location bar to access the advanced preferences. * Look for browser.urlbar.maxRichResults and set it to the number of results you want to get. * Restart Firefox for the change to take effect.

This is exactly my experience as well. It's gone until then next time I restart the browser, then it's back again. Annoying as hell.

This is exactly my experience as well. It’s gone until then next time I restart the browser, then it’s back again. Annoying as hell.

I mistyped a login name on a page once and Firefox kept track of it. Highlight, press DEL or Shift-DEL and it's gone. This also works on form fields.

Arrrg... a little glitchy, but still good. Great tip, but unfortunately I’ve noticed that ones I have bookmarked just keep coming back. Arrrg… a little glitchy, but still good.
