Cannot stop a url appearing by autocomplete
Despite clearing my history and cookies etc (using CCleaner) whenever I use firefox and start typing in a url in the address bar one particular website keeps appearing (by autocomplete).
I've tried searching my bookmarks etc but cannot find it anywhere. How can I stop this happening? I use WinXp.
thanks in advance

Hi,
You can consider the Reset Firefox feature via Help (Alt + H) > Troubleshooting Information.
(To revert to the previous profile, close the new profile, start Firefox and choose the *.default profile. While the Profile Manager is open, you can also delete the newly reset profile (the one containing random numbers)).
Thanks for those tips... unfortunately nothing worked. In the end I typed "about:config" in the address bar and I then turned the browser.urlbar.autofil value to "false". This has temporarily solved the problem...but I am concerned that somewhere in my proffile will be these website urls.
Problems with bookmarks and history not working properly can be caused by a corrupted places.sqlite database file.

You can try to check and repair the places database with this extension:
