There are 2 bars at the bottom of the page that saves all the sites you have saved.I can not find any way to delete this bar of all the sites Ive saved. everything that you saved is on this drop down bar. I think there are about 20 sites that I have saved on that drop down bar.

NO this did not help. If you look up at the top of firefox page you see [file] [edit] [view] [history] [bookmarks] [tools] [help]. If you click on [file] a drop down page come up. If you scroll down to SAVE AS and click on it a window comes up and ask you where you want to SAVE IT. You pick a place and click SAVE. On that window there are two bars at the bottom. If you click on the right side of the top bar a list pops up of all the sites you saved. I want to know how to delete that list of places or things that you saved. I hope there is someone out there that knows enough of firefox that they know how I can delete that list. Other wise I will have to stop using firefox. I work on a shared computer. Please help me.

That is probably a Windows setting and saved in the registry/

Delete the MRU (Most Recently Used) ComDlg32 registry keys with the regedit.exe program.

Navigate to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ComDlg32

Delete the subkeys (LastVisitedMRU and OpenSaveMRU) (or possibly LastVisitedPidlMRU and OpenSavePidlMRU)

Be careful with editing the registry as there is no Undo possible: all changes are applied immediately.
