How can I delete search history? I have a few misspelled searches and similar old stuff that pops up in the address bar when I type in a new search.

I have tried several things:

  • Settings → Privacy & Security → Clear data → Selecting and marking everything but with no effect whatsoever
  • Settings → Privacy & Security → History → Firefox will never remember history + Clear history as mentioned above
  • Settings → Search → Search suggestions → everything disabled
  • Settings → Search → Address bar → everything but Bookmarks have been disabled
  • Deleted my old Firefox account and created a new so I can still sync between 2 computers

Example: Previously I used www.adobe.com but now I use www.adobe.dk. But everytime I enter adobe in the address bar, Firefox keeps suggesting (autofill) adobe.com instead adobe.dk.

Any suggestions how to clear/delete the browser/search history so I can get a fresh start?
