I usually just do my searches from the address bar, if that makes a difference here. But, I have done a few searches for sensitive information and forget to click private browsing first. So I need to clear all suggestions/autocomplete from the address bar. So far I have clicked "delete all history", "clear autocomplete", (and I'm probably not remembering the wording there just right), set it to never remember history, and others I don't remember now. But still I type one letter and the drop-down opens with all the sensitive information still there. I have changed some stuff in about:config, still no luck. What else can I do to clear this memory?

The searches were more for categories and not specific items, so deleting each one individually would take a couple of weeks. However, I finally just uninstalled, deleted all remaining folders and reinstalled. Deleting the leftover folders was the key, just uninstalling and reinstalling loaded the same profile and information.

Hi, you can remove individual entries by selecting them and pressing the Del key.
