I have my privacy settings for firefox set to : Never remember history, and then on the Location bar settings , every time I open a browser page I click "When using the location bar suggest" and I have "Nothing" selected.

However, everytime I start to type in the address bar it starts auto filling in things from my bookmarks, when I go back into settings it says "Never remember history" and then in the location bar option it says "History and bookmarks" and I have to change it all over again

Its only been doing this since 3.6 I think? I had firefox before that and when I set it once that was all it took. Whenever I would open a page and start typing something in the address bar nothing would come up which is exactly how I want it.

But now whenever I start typing it starts suggesting things from my favorites list, since this is a shared computer I would really like it to not do that but I don't seem to have any way around it.

I change the setting appropriately and then for some reason it changes itself back.
