I have it set that my URL bar doesn't remember things when I type in a URL. However, when I type, it still gives me a drop down of sites I've been to. Why? And how do I fix this? It's really annoying

example: if I start to type in www.mozilla.com, the URL bar gives a drop down of all the sites I've been to that start with www.mo, even though if I pull up my settings, it's set to not remember anything.

Are you using the old Firefox 3.0.17 version (Help > About) that shows in your post or gives that the wrong version?

In the Firefox 3.0.x versions you are limited about what to do with the location bar.

If you update to Firefox 3.5.x or 3.6.x then you have more options for the location bar behavior.
