Have I been to this porn site? Sure. I'm a grown up. Is it stored in my bookmarks? NO. Is it in my history now? NO. Do I want to be told by Firefox every time I type the letter B into my address bar that I've been to bangbros.com? Do I think that this is a good thing for my 12 year old daughter? Do I really have to answer that last question? How irresponsible is this stupid feature? Sure... I think pulling from you history or bookmarks is totally fine. Those are things that I've visited and haven't cleared and even want to remember how to get back to. To pull something NOT from my history or bookmarks and just decide randomly that hey... we should auto fill a porn site he visited once god knows how long ago is incredibly irresponsible on the part of Firefox. I've done EVERYTHING to my computers cache, browser cache... everything has been cleaned over and over again yet, when I type the letter B in my address bar you auto fill it with porn. FIX IT and FIX IT NOW.

Seriously pissed off.

@omgreallynothappy, sure this is not good for your 12 year daughter but don't get panic, this feature has been added for your convenient browsing , not to increase your problem..please read the section Clearing all items for a single site in the link Remove websites from the address bar suggestions hope this helps :)

Repeat what you did to show that site. Using the arrow keys, highlight that entry, and press <Delete>.
