Items manually removed from history still shows up in Awesome Bar (but without favicon)
Even if I delete all History items related to a certain search term (for example: "aftonbladet"), the Awesome Bar still remembers it. I don't have any bookmarks with that search term.
Items in the item bar that sticks like this, even if I remove any history related to them, have no favicon.

Try telling Firefox to forget about the site: Forget about a site
Tried that now, didn't work.
Problems with bookmarks and history not working properly can be caused by a corrupted places.sqlite database file.
You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox Profile Folder.

You can try to check and repair the places database with this extension:
First I tried to repair the database with the Places-Maintenance addon. Didn't work.
Then I quit firefox and removed any places sql files from my profile folder and moved them to my desktop. I then started Firefox again. Naturally, all my history was gone (no biggie) but the problem persist. Even if I visit a bunch of websites, then manually clear all the items from my Browser history (such as pressing Ctrl A then Delete), many of the websites still show up in the Awesome Bar. None of those websites are bookmarked and my Browser history has been manually emtpied.

So I take it there is no solution to this?
