What is the drop down below web (http) address box?
When I hit the arrow,I get a bunch of drop down results,but don't know why they ended up in the drop down (I didn't do anything active to put them there) and how do I get rid of them?

When I click the arrow (the down arrow all the way to the right) at any random time it gives a drop down list.How did it develop that list?It's a bizarre list that I would like to erase.It's content seems to have no rhyme or reason.
I have never become a fan of the location bar.I just find it way too busy to use on a regular basis.If I believe that I will have to revisit a site or web page,I will bookmark it.
It is a list of most visited sites that you have opened via the location bar.
Read the Address bar autocomplete suggestions in Firefox article I linked you to, please. It explains that the autocomplete results include items from your browsing history and bookmarks, and you can setup which ones to use at Tools, Options, Privacy, at the panel bottom.
OK,I'll play around with the setup in a couple of days. Am I able to delete the history to the drop-down list,yet preserve the history of other factors? Can I change the conditions of the drop-down list? (when I click the arrow)
You can preserve your bookmarks and history, and select the Location bar autocomplete to show
- nothing
- bookmarks
- history
- bookmarks and history
in tools, options, privacy panel, at the bottom.
