Do you mean in the bookmark folder? Just delete the bookmark.
not in the "bookmark", but in the "most visited" list
THANKS
- "Most Visited" and "Recently Bookmarked" are examples of the so called Smart Bookmarks folders and are not real existing folders.
- Such smart folders show a list created by a query of the places.sqlite database that stores the bookmarks and the history in Firefox.
- The bookmarks that show up in such smart folder listing are stored elsewhere in another folder and any changes made are applied to the real bookmark or history item.
- Such lists show a maximum of 10 entries by default and you add a new bookmark or visit a website then a new item is added at the top and the entry at the bottom disappears from that list.
- The items that are removed from the list are not gone, but merely do not show up anymore in that list.
- Any actions like copy & paste or delete that you perform on bookmarks in such a list are done on the original bookmark.
You need to remove that site from the history to reset the visit count to 0 if you do not want to see it in the list.
THANKS - that answers it
You're welcome
For newbies, such as I..... how, exactly, do we remove sites from browser history? My bank sites (1 login page, and 3 open pages from my one bank site) show up in this list, and I don't want those 3 open pages there. Thank you!

You can visit your bank site in Private Browsing mode to prevent sites from appearing in the history.
