After following directions to clear the cache (which I believe is the browser location listings), I still have two listings showing in the drop down list of the awesome bar. I am wondering how to just clear out the entire listings of my browser. In addition, it's interesting that even if I clear my location bar history, but I start typing out a website into the awesome bar it still has the ability to know what I am typing. This is good, on the one hand. But, on the other hand, maybe I don't want the awesome bar to do that. It kind of reverses the effects of clearing the browser history. I am wondering how to get around this problem.

This happened

Not sure how often

To delete an item from your drop down menu, scroll down to it then use Shift & Delete.

The awesome bar predicts what you're typing because the entry is either in your History or Bookmarks.
