The Awesome/Address/Location Bar has an auto-complete feature. Nice. However, now it shows history matches, even if Options / Privacy / Location Bar is set to "Bookmarks" only. It worked perfectly before upgrading to the current version. At least setting it to "None" works as expected. Now I can't get rid of youporn popping up whenever I start to type youtube :o) (Yes, I know I can delete all my browsing history, and yes, I know about private browsing. It was just an example.)

Hi,

It could be present as a full URL in the bookmarks other than the domain part which Firefox fills in by default. You can try to search the Bookmarks library. If the problem persists, you can consider the Reset Firefox feature via Help (Alt + H) > Troubleshooting Information.

(To revert to the previous profile, close the new profile, start Firefox and choose the *.default profile. While the Profile Manager is open, you can also delete the newly reset profile (the one containing random numbers)).
