The control for the "Awesome Bar" as it's known as can be accessed by clicking the orange Firefox button, go to Options | Options | Privacy.

At the bottom of the menu, you'll see "Location Bar". Choices are located in the dropdown menu.

Thanks.

Thanks Xircal but, maybe I should have been more descriptive. I was hoping that I could choose which sites will remain in the drop down or at least have it show the most frequently visited sites. I see very few choices in this location bar setting and when I changed from "history and bookmarks" to "history" nothing changes. I was hoping it would be more customizable.

The sites shown and the order they are shown is a complex algorithm. You can read the following, but I advise staying away from the configuration settings if you do not have time to experiment over and over and over. This was written some time ago and may have changed a little. Some details here (read "Frecency (misspelled) Calculation" and "Configuration"): https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/Namoroka/Improved_form_history#Frecency_Calculation

Not related to your question, but...

You need to update some plug-ins:

• Plug-in check: https://www-trunk.stage.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/
• Adobe PDF Plug-In For Firefox and Netscape: Installing/Updating Adobe Reader in Firefox

Wow is it just me or doesn't this seem like something that should've been a no brainer- add the sites YOU prefer to your drop down list. As I said earlier, I have a few that I've only visited once. One is not even a site. It was a typo. But it remains in my drop down "Not so Awesome Bar"

There's nothing to prevent you from deleting them manually. Simply right click them and choose "Delete" from the menu.

To delete from the Awesome bar, select a link and then hit the Delete key.

You can also decrease the number shown as follows.

1. In the location bar where you normally type in a web address, type about:config and hit Enter.
   
   
2. If you see a window which says "This might void your warranty!", click the button which says "I'll be careful, I promise" so you can continue with the next step.
   
   
3. In the filter at the top, copy/paste the following: browser.urlbar.maxRichResults
   
   
4. The default is "12". Right click it and choose "Modify" and then type in the number of links you want to be displayed.
   
   
5. Close the tab afterwards.

Thanks Xircal. When I right click on them nothing happens.

You're welcome.

Hang on a min. I'll test it.

OK, just select and hit the Delete key instead.

There you go. That worked. Thanks Again.

You're welcome.

I would like to know how to ADD to this list. I've already learned (by accident) how to remove an item from the list. I would like it back! Despite the "complex algorithm".

Firefox should store new form data automatically and ask permission to store a new password.

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in permanent Private Browsing mode.
