I have cleared everything in my History under Tools, but still there are websites that appear when I type in a letter (in the header?). They seem to be in the Recently Bookmarked and Bookmarks Toolbar sections, so I'm wondering: How can I erase my Bookmarks which appear in these sections? Many thanks...David (ps...I'm very bad at using computers and don't have a very good sense of things or even a vocabulary)

You can check the setting for the location bar: Firefox > Preferences > Privacy > Location Bar: When using the location bar, suggest:

  • "Most Visited" and "Recently Bookmarked" are examples of the so called Smart Bookmarks folders and are not real existing folders.
  • Such smart folders show a list created by a query of the places.sqlite database that stores the bookmarks and the history in Firefox 3.
  • The bookmarks that show up in such smart folder listing are stored elsewhere in another folder and any changes made are applied to the real bookmark or history item.
  • Such lists show a maximum of 10 entries by default and you add a new bookmark or visit a website then a new item is added at the top and the entry at the bottom disappears from that list.
  • The items that are removed from the list are not gone, but merely do not show up anymore in that list.
  • Any actions like copy & paste or delete that you perform on bookmarks in such a list are done on the original bookmark.
  • If you do not want a specific list then remove that query (right-click: Delete), but do not delete the content that is displayed in such a list.
