I was wondering how can I delete my browsing history without deleting the sites I visit in my URL bar?

I would like to keep what I type in the url bar.

You can not delete browsing history and still show the full details in the url bar. The url bar takes details from your bookmarks and browsing history. If you delete the browsing history it will only show bookmarks.

Well that stinks. I have to say Im not a big fan of how Firefox handles it's URL bar, even though Firefox is better then IE I still prefer IE's URL bar.
