Whenever I click the down arrow on the address bar a list of sites appears. I can not delete them. If I try hovering my mouse over them and pressing delete on the keyboard they come back the next time I hit the down arrow. They also won't go away when I clear history.

The same problem has been dogging me for a couple of months and I think I may have the solution. The address bar auto-complete includes addresses from you bookmarks. If the one you delete is there because it was bookmarked at some time in the past, you won't be able to delete it from the address bar directly. Go to Bookmarks/Organize and search for the offending site address. Edit it or delete it from there and it should fix the problem. It may be in the "Most Visited" section of the bookmarks.
