I manually deleted a certain website from my history, cookies, and cleared my cache but the site keeps coming up in the navigation bar. How do I delete it?

The question says it all, really. I usually delete certain websites from my history and cookies after I visit, as this is a shared computer, but for some reason it's still been showing up in the suggested history when I type in the first letter. Is this a glitch with the latest version of Firefox or is there a way I can fix this?
