Thanks

Every single website url address, or url address within a website page is being added to my location bar/address bar drop down menu.

I don't want everything added or saved in the location bar. Only urls that I used a lot used to be saved there but now every single url (and url within a url)I visit is being added to it.

How can I stop this? This just started happening.

I'm sure it's a simple browser setting but I've checked and nothing gives an option to control this.

Firefox Vn.3.0.17: How do I search the Internet (as I used to on a daily basis) for websites containing a specified word or phrase?

For the first time ever (after a few years of use) when I try to search for a word or phrase on the Net, I get a message (under a tab saying, "Error 403 (Forbidden)!!1") saying, "403 That's an error", followed by "Your client does not have permission to get URL", followed by a very long URL (well over 300 characters), and finally, "That's all we know."! This happens for any word or phrase input. However, if I type a URL (e.g., www.jajah.com) in the 'Search' box, I get the website without any trouble.
