In that ip address bar, when you click in it there is a dropdown menu. It used to have all those sites that I look at every day. Recently is has added some others which I almost never go to and has dropped some that I go to every day. Like I went to the national do not call registry to register my phone number. I only went there once, and that was a few weeks ago but for some reason it keeps that one in that menu, at the expense of my regulars. There are a few more like that. there are now 3 like that, things that I have only gone to once, but there they are apparently permanently. How do I remove those I don't want so that it has apace for those I do want?

You can use these steps to remove saved items from an autocomplete drop-down list.

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

Note that hovering with the mouse doesn't work.

I opened a new tab and did the down arrow for that first item on the list and then hit delete and nothing happened I also tried shift-delete and nothing. It was highlighted but nada.

Now it's adding more things to that address bar menu. Just this AM it started adding "switch to" other tabs I have open. Like, I always have the weather tab and now, in that address menu it has a 'switch to' the weather tab and a few other tabs. How do I get it to stop and just have the news feeds I look at every day? I don't want all that other stuff I don't need there.

If you try to open the same URL in more than one tab then you may have the "Switch to tab" feature preventing that. You can remove the checkmark on "Open Tabs" in the location bar settings to disable "Switch to tab".

The location bar drop-down list can show history items, bookmarked pages, pages opened in tabs, top sites, and search suggestions. You can set what suggestions show when you enter an URL in the location/address bar.

  • Settings -> Search -> Address Bar — Firefox Suggest:
    Browsing history
    Bookmarks<bropen tabs<br>Shortcuts
    Search engines
    Quick Actions </bropen>
