I have a really strange annoyance with the addressbar. I have set up my addressbar to show only typed, pasted addresses and visited sites, no bookmarks. Now, majority of my bookmarks don't appear in the addressbar when i click them, but some of them do regularly. For ex. youtube.com, kde-look.org and some others appear always after i click them in my addressbar as though i've typed them or pasted them.

What about the sites that are bookmarks that are in the history?

If you visited those sites at least once, then they will appear in the list. Whether they're bookmarked or not is irrelevant. You have to set "When using the location bar, suggest: Nothing" if you don't want any suggestions.

I'l try to explain again. My addressbar is set to show only 10 addresses when i click the down arrow. It doesn't have anything to do when i type a letter in it. Now, this 10 addresses should be either typed or pasted, not bookmarks that i have clicked. And they are usually typed addresses, when i click a bookmark it doesn't appear in the addressbar drop-down list, except for the sites that i mentioned previously.

I think his will make it more understandable. Lets say i've typed 10 addresses and they appear in the addressbar drop-down list.

  • www'.x1.com
  • www'.x2.com
  • 3.....
  • 4.....
  • 5.....
  • 6.....
  • 7.....
  • 8.....
  • 9.....
  • www'.x10.com

These are all typed adresses. Now when i click some bookmark the dropdown stay the same, but when i click the youtube site bookmark it replaces the www.x10.com site and takes it's place. Only few bookmarks behave this way.

What is your current value of the browser.urlbar.default.behavior pref?

It could be that you have visited websites that open pages from those domains in an iframe.
