No matter how many times I clear "everything" from history, I still see firefox suggestions on the new tab page from websites I visited months ago. This is really annoying and could be embarrassing if you were on certain sites. I will NEVER understand why the default is to hang on to old data.....when it should be the opposite; users should choose to retain ONLY the history they choose to. I have CLEAR HISTORY when firefox closes checked....this is BROKEN please fix it
