I can go to tools, clear private data and clear everything, but when i go type something into the web browser bar the sites I've previously been on drop down. This is annoying and I want to figure out how to get rid of this.

For this problem, 1. Go to tools in menu bar[Alt+T] 2. Click on Options button[press O] 3. Click the "Privacy" Tab 4. In that tab scroll down the scroll bar in Location Bar Section. 5. Click on nothing. After this you will get rid of that.. For more info: Contact : hasit.p.bhatt@gmail.com

If you update to Firefox 3.5.x or 3.6.x then you have more options for the location bar behavior.
