I have deleted all history but awesome bar still remembers past searches. How do I delete those searches and prevent it from remembering future searches. Also, when I open History tab all I get is: All I get are Ctrl+H and Ctrl+Shift+delete choices. (?)

Use these steps to remove saved (form) data from a drop-down list:

  1. click the (empty) input field on the web page to open the drop-down list
  2. highlight an entry in the drop-down list with the mouse or cursor Down key
    do not click the mouse or press the Enter key
  3. press the Delete key (on Mac: Shift+Delete) to delete the highlighted entry

You can delete the places.sqlite file to remove all stored history if you can't do it otherwise.

You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox profile folder.
