When I select tools, then options: Location Bar is shown. When using the location bar suggest: History and Bookmarks. History. Bookmarks. Nothing. If I choose any except nothing, No old information is cleared. Can you help?

There are no such thing as old bookmarks, they last until you delete them, unlike regular browsing history.

If you are seeing bookmarked results (with the star on the side colored) in your location bar and you don't want to, you are going to have to delete those bookmarks.

See Deleting bookmarks.

For clearing history, rather than just hiding results from the location bar, see Clear recent history
