When I start typing in the location bar, websites show up that I don't want to show up. I completely cleared my browsing history, three times, and restarted firefox, twice. I have the bar set up to not display bookmarks, and in any event the websites don't have the bookmarks star next to them.

Thanks; renaming/deleting "places.sqlite" and "places.sqlite-journal" did the trick. Any idea why I couldn't get rid of 'em, otherwise? Were the files damaged in some fashion?
