I have cleared my history and the history now automatically is cleared, but the ten items in the drop down menu continue to be there from weeks ago. How do I clear them?
The ten items in the drop down History header continues to show ten sites that I several weeks ago. Any new sites that I have used recently or am currently using do not appear in this list. I have configured the history settings to clear automatically, but those ten old sites persist throughout all current use. How do I get rid of them?

If they have a yellow start, they are bookmarks.
This can be caused by a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.
Thanks for the help. They do have yellow starts. How do I get rid of them?
Entries in the location bar drop down list with a yellow (blue on Mac) star at the right end are bookmarks.
You can remove such a bookmarked item that shows in the list if you open that url in a tab and click the yellow star in the location bar.
This will open the "Edit This Bookmark" dialog and you can click the Remove button to remove the bookmark if you want to remove such a bookmarked entry.
