Location bar
I am experiencing issues with the location bar. Every time I re-start Firefox after going into the settings in Firefox and telling the location bar to not show anything (history, bookmarks, etc...) my bookmarks still show up. Nothing has resolved this issue. I've reset Firefox several times on past occasions and nothing is working.
I am not going to continue re-setting Firefox either because I shouldn't have to go through this every time I run into this problem. It is extremely frustrating to have to go about resetting the program. My computer is up to date with its malware, spyware, etc.. scans so I doubt that is causing this issue.
Thank You.

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems. See "Creating a profile":

Note that if you have visited a bookmarked site that this becomes an history item and thus will show as history and not only as a bookmark.
What is the value of the browser.urlbar.default.behavior pref on the about:config page?
Problems with bookmarks and history not working properly can be caused by a corrupted places.sqlite database file.
You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox profile folder.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
- Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.
Well this is interesting, I followed the steps to go about reviewing the profiles for Firefox and apparently when looking for the root file/or folder using this method: C:\Users\<Windows login/user name>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile folder>
There is only one folder in the Roaming folder and it is not Firefox related but for another program I have installed.
As for the behavior/value for browser.urlbar.default.behavior, the value is set at zero.
I'm still trying to wrap my head around the other suggestion in regards to places.sqlite as the instructions are a little hard for me to understand.
Lastly, I did go into safe-mode in Firefox and that did not solve the issue.
You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:
- Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
I have set up a new profile. As of now, I haven't seen the issues I was experiencing but I will give this awhile before actually saying this method worked so I will keep you posted as needed.
Thank you all for your help.
