I can't remove a Location Bar Autocomplete entry

When you try to follow the steps to remove an item from the location bar AutoComplete list, as shown here:

http://support.Mozilla.org/en-us/KB/search-your-bookmarks-history-and-tabs-awesome-bar#w_removing-AutoComplete-results

I encountered a problem interesting - the entry does not appear in the drop-down list, so I can't scroll to it, much less delete it.

This is the case. My University has a mail to mail server. < ermergerd! > .edu. Until yesterday, typing'm ' or 'ma' or... you get the idea... would be seized semiautomatic at this address. Randomly, today, he decided to "mail.google.com" as default. Which sucks, because I used to just type me ' and 'enter '. It's particularly annoying because I am sure that I never actually went (by typing in the address bar, at least) "mail.google.com" because that "gmail.com" is much less typing. It is not my favorites, and it does not appear in my story.

Completely erase my history isn't really an option in this case. It doesn't matter why. If the absolute answer is completely 'clear history', I'll learn to live with it. But I can hardly believe that there is not an alternative.

I have the screenshot proof, but apparently does not include. I'm sure that this would not help, because it shows as "mail.google.com" autocomplete, as ".edu e-mail. < homeworkislate >"is the first on the list, and 'mail.google.com' is not found.

Thank you

I see you have Gmail Manager & installed Greasemonkey addons. Do you have one of them installed recently? One of them may be the cause. My money is on Gmail manager. In the case of Greasemonkey, maybe you added a userscript which adds sort mail.google.com to the address bar? You can try to disable Gmail Manager addon first then restart Firefox and see if mail.google.com is gone. Otherwise, disable Greasemonkey then restart Firefox and check again. There may be still one of your addons like google-No.-tracking-url , although I doubt that one is responsible. But you never know. You could also test with all the addons disabled.

To turn off all your addons:

Firefox button > help > restart with disabled modules

  • How can I remove the menu bar in Windows Explorer?

    I have Windows 7 (x 64). In windows Explorer, the menu bar will not go if I press ALT. Also, I went into the menu "Organize" and went to "provision". Display of the menu bar has been disabled. I even checked "View" tab in the folder options and the display of the menu bar option is disabled here also. I tried to restart, but which did not help either. So, what should I do? The menu bar that bothers me a lot. So, ill reinstall windows if I can't find a way to remove it.

    So I guess the menu bar also refused to go when you were in safe mode.  If so, it narrows at least it down to a Windows problem.  If the system is free of any software malicious then the fault lies with Windows being corrupt.

    If SFC has reported no problems then only clean boot procedures could narrow things down to the component of Windows 7 that is the cause of the problem.

    You may find that the boot is too tedious & skip to what is called an in Place Upgrade or repair installation using your installation DVD. It's better than a reinstall full as it leaves your applications & intact user files.

  • How can I remove the bookmarks bar favicons?

    I've just updated to Firefox 29... and it disabled an add-on, I am using for some time (deiconizer bookmarks). Is there a way to remove ugly and unnecessary favicons in my bookmarks toolbar in order to make more room for real and functional bookmarks?

    You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder currently in use:

    • Help > troubleshooting information > profile directory: see file (Linux: open the directory;) Mac: View in the Finder)
    • Create the folder chrome (lowercase) in the .default < xxxxxxxx > profile folder if the folder does not exist.
    • Use a text editor such as Notepad to create a userChrome.css (new) file in this folder (the names are case-sensitive).
    • Paste the code in the userChrome.css file in the Editor window and make sure that the userChrome.css file starts with the default @namespace line.
    • Make sure that you select "All files" and not "text files" when you save the file via "save file as" in the text editor as userChrome.css.

    Otherwise, Windows can add a hidden .txt file extension, and you end up with a file not work userChrome.css.txt or userContent.css.txt.

  • Location bar search returns false favorites. Bug?

    Say I save a bookmark to "mozilla.org" and give it the name "XYZ". When I type "XYZ" in the address bar AutoComplete suggests the bookmark for mozilla.

    Now say I rename this bookmark, describing it as "ABC" instead. Now * two * 'ABC' and "XZY" will give me the bookmark for mozilla as a suggestion.

    In other words, location bar autocomplete seems to remember the old bookmark names instead of forgetting them. Bug or feature? If the latter, no way to turn it off?

    Hello oda.krell, I think it is a feature. It is not the old name of the bookmark that is stored - part of the algorithm which suggests results in the drop-down field once you start typing in the address bar will remember which characters you typed in and which you have chosen accordingly. This is done to this site plus the next time that you start to type the same characters from the list...
    This type of data is stored in the moz_inputhistory table in the places.sqlite file in your profile folder (which also holds your bookmarks and history). You can use an addon like https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/sqlite-manager/ to inspect or modify some items stored in this database.
