My address bar used to retain all frequently used web addresses in a drop down menu accessed by clicking on the down arrow at the very right of the address bar. Now only retains the last 8 addresses I visited. How do I set to retain more or up to 25 most recent entered site addresses? Please tell all click points from home page?

You can modify the value of the browser.urlbar.maxRichResults pref on the about:config page.

The default value is 12 and -1 or 0 stops the drop down list.

You need to close and restart Firefox to make changes effective.

Do not want to stop drop down list. Read original question. I need 25 most recent entered addresses to be RETAINED.

You can set that pref to any value and if you want 25 entries then change the pref to 25.
