When I am using the Firefox Google browser, other previous browser topics that are similar automatically pop up. I would like to delete some of these previous topics that automatically pop up. How do I do this?

Hi there! Are you talking about the search field on google.com? Or do you mean you are seeing words that you have previously have typed in? If it's the latter:

  1. Click on the form field and press the down arrow key to display all the saved entries. You may type the first few letters of the entry to limit the number of entries displayed.
  2. Use the down arrow key or the mouse pointer to highlight the entry you wish to delete.
  3. Press Shift+Delete. The entry will be removed.

Hope this helps!
