I have went to preferences and deleted form and search history, browsing and download history, caches, active logins, literally checked marked everything, yet autocomplete and search form history is still showing up on my search bar. Did I do something wrong?

Chosen solution

Type about:preferences#privacy <enter> in the address bar.

The button next to History, select Use Custom Settings.

At the bottom of the page, turn on Clear History When Firefox Closes. At the far right, press the Settings button. Turn on what you want. Then close the window.
