So lets just jump through everything I have done already. I basically figured out that all of the sites listed in my location bar are my bookmarks. All want is history. Before my Location bar settings were set to history and bookmarks, but then I decided to delete all my history and that just left the bookmarks. So figured out the location bar settings thing and I switched it to History but its still showing my bookmarks in the location bar. Some sites I have bookmarked but haven't visited in awhile. I would also like to note that there is no star next these links in the location bar but when I click on any of the links in it they are bookmarked sites. I am guessing the missing star may have something to do with why its being tagged history. I have no clue but I only want history in my location bar not bookmarks. I tried customizing it and still all my bookmarks are in it.

Are those sites redirected to another location?

If the URL stays the same then an URL that is bookmarked should have a star next to it.

You can also restrict the drop down list to websites that you've typed in the location bar.

No it goes to the site I bookmarked and the star is there when I get to the site. I am gonna try the links you posted and see if any of this works. Thank you.
