I recently upgraded to 13.0.1. Since upgrading every time I read any news stories I have in my Live bookmarks via RSS feeds, the URL/website now appears in the dropdown location bar/url bar.

I'm slightly anal with having only certain websites show up in my drop down box, and now all these stories are there. I can remove them from the drop down bar by deleting them from the history sidebar--but I don't want to keep doing this.

Is there any way to change it so that anytime I read a RSS story/feed from my live bookmarks feed, that the URL/article doesn't show up in location bar?

Live feed items behave like bookmarks, so if you've visited such an item then it will appear in the location bar drop down list if you show the history (visited sites) in that list.
