I am not sure if the name "location bar" is right, so I describe first, what I am talking about.

At the right side of the bar which is used to type in URLs is a yellow star to bookmark sites. On the right side of that star is an arrow which points downward. If you click that arrow (without having typed anything in the location bar), a list of URLs appear. My questions are regarding the customization of this specific list.

In Firefox 3, 10 URLs were listed when I clicked the arrow. Since I updated to Firefox 4, the list consists of only 4 URLs. How can I change it back to 10 URLs?

In addition to that, the list is not accurate. I think it should show my most visited URLs, but some sites which I visit several times a day, are not listed. How can I add something to that list?

I hope you understand what I am talking about. Since it is quite specific, I didn't find any help on google. I am using Firefox 4.0.
