I have cleared cache, cookies and all history - when I start typing in the browsers URL window some websites still come up. Why?

Your solution helped me to determine that it was a bookmark I did not realize I had. Got that all cleaned up now.

Thank you.

The autocomplete drop-down will display both history and bookmarks by default. To see whether it is one or the other, you can adjust the following setting and test various combinations:

orange Firefox button or classic Tools menu > Options > Privacy > "When using the location bar, suggest"
