I have tried to clear all location bar history by using the Tools,Clear History menu and have selected all boxes. I still had site URLs in my location bar history. I then tried using shift/delete on each URL. The next time I access the location bar history the URLs are back.

See;

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

Deleting the places.sqlite file worked. The URLs are gone and I can put new locations in. Thanks so much!
