History not completely deletable
Hello, I'm using Firefox since day 1. Now I just discovered that it's virtually impossible to completely delete the history in Firefox. I do try to delete my browsing history as suggested in the Firefox documentation. The problem is with "Firefox suggests". Pages that should have been cleared out by deleting the browser history, be it in settings or over the three bar menu still show up there. To me this is unacceptable. I can obfuscate by disabling all address bar search options, but the history data is then still stored somewhere. I do not use any cloud services. Attached you can see an image of what I mean. All browsing history should have been deleted but still show up (also after restarting Firefox).
I would really like to continue to use Firefox but only if I can delete ALL browsing history. Thank you. Best Regards

Sorry delete this post please. The suggested pages come from my bookmarks.
Note that you can see this by the icon attached to a suggestion (star, clock, pin).
The location bar drop-down list can show history items, bookmarked pages, pages opened in tabs, top sites, and search suggestions.
You can set what suggestions show when you enter an URL in the location/address bar.
Settings -> Search -> Address Bar — Firefox Suggest:
Browsing history
