It saves random sites that I've gone to and if I start typing in the url bar they show up. It's not sites I've bookmarked, I've tried deleting cache, history, offline data, deleting and reinstalling firefox and they keep showing up.

Any ideas?

Make sure when you clear your history, you have it set to clear everything and not just 'past hour'

I checked everything - Found a workaround though, "when using location bar: suggest nothing"

That helps, but its still stored somewhere......

There's a pull down menu that asks how far back you want to clear. That's what I'm talking about.

Okay, I figured out that much, but still, if someone were to turn off that feature, Firefox will still have this stored....I've tried everything

I think it stops saving history.  If your on a network the admin can still see it I think.  It just doesn't save on the computer itself.

Sometimes it'll save a site in "unsorted bookmarks."



I don't know why, but it does that from time to time on me.



Go in and manually delete the bookmark.

There is another option for deleting history every time you close your browser.


Won't help this problem but may help in the future.

Type this into the URL bar:

about:config

Scroll down to "keyword.enabled" - right-click and toggle it to FALSE.

Don't change anything else unless you really know what you're doing.
