when I delete using the "clear resent history", with all boxes checked, I still have a bunch of urls that won't delete.
when you go to TOOLS>CLEAR RECENT HISTORY and check all the boxes, except "form & search history" is a light check mark and can't be changed. The top is set for "everything". When I click the clear now button. After a couple of minutes. The icon clears and I close the browser. When I click the browser and start putting in a url, Some urls that I was looking at still show up. These are not any of my favorites. How do I delete these sites??? Thanks Ernie PS- I'm using firefox 4 and have windows 7.

Entries in the location bar drop down list with a yellow (blue on Mac) star at the right end are bookmarks.
You can remove such a bookmarked item that shows in the list if you open that url in a tab and click the yellow star in the location bar.
This will open the "Edit This Bookmark" dialog and you can click the Remove button to remove the bookmark if you want to remove such a bookmarked entry.
