I deleted a specific website from the "History" and used "forget this site" but it still shows up when I type the first letter of the site. How do I delete it?

I am not computer savvy. I don't want to clear all my history, just one specific site. I deleted it, its cookies, passwords and everything and when I type the first letter of the website in, it shows up as one of the options for websites. I need to delete it, but how?

Maybe these will help?

It's possible the website is in your bookmarks and when you type in some letters in the Location Bar that match that bookmark, it is coming up from there. See Address bar autocomplete suggestions in Firefox for details on changing your Location Bar settings in your privacy settings.
