I want to have my history cleared automatically and I have set all of the appropriate settings, but one site continues to show on the drop down no matter what I do...all other sites are cleared

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

Does that entry have a yellow star? If it has then it is a bookmark.

Can be this issue http://kb.mozillazine.org/Bookmarks_history_and_toolbar_buttons_not_working_-_Firefox

Yahoo lets you delete your entire browsing history, so you don't have to remember to do it every day. What's up with Firefox not giving that option?

Sorry to have bothered here. It's just that Firefox makes you jump through hoops to delete your entire browsing history. I figured that out by going into the Options and changing the very high number of days (something like 90, as I recall) that they keep stuff on, down to 1, and also telling it to delete my history every time I log off. Hope this helps others.
