Ok, it's not a bug. However, there is no reason I can think of that the
software people require this feature. Firefox is not the only browser
out there. After reading the responses from Mackenzie, I changed to
Google Chrome. Apparently, they understand what security is.

Clear Private Data
Whatever the problem/s with this particular feature in Firefox, 'bug' or
no, its one of the most annoying features ever! It would not be so bad
if the URLs listed were the ones I frequent. More often than not it's
the ones which I don't want to visit again that seem to get listed.
I've tried

Hi Mackenzie,
For starters, there WAS NOT zcat's comment at that time I added my one.
Additionally, there have been two different things together,
unfortunately:
1) not clearing the history data - the issue has been solved apparently
2) taking data from bookmarks as hints when writing a url

I was really surprised there was no supported way to clear the location bar.
Furthermore, this problem persists in 3.0.5 and it's extremely annoying.
It IS a bug and a big enough bug for me to invoke 'sudo apt-get purge firefox'.
There are times when you simply DO NOT WANT firefox blabbing about
This bug does not exist. At least in 3.0.5 the history is cleaned in the
address bar. If you still see URLs there after privacy cleaning please
check if they have an yellow star? If they do they are your own
bookmarks. To prevent a particular URL to appear you have to remove it
from your bookmarks
OK, I've cleared history and agree that only bookmarks remain. It does
seem that they're arranged in 'most visited' order which some people
would argue is still history that should have been erased.
I can also see the point that if I have some dodgy pornsite buried three
folders deep in my
Hi Vtrain,
I might agree with you that the history will be cleaned properly after one have
cleared private data.
However, I do NOT think that 'changing a setting within about:config' is a
proper solution.
When I set it to the value of 0, I cannot see the history at all!
What I do not really
Are any of you reading what the others are writing? Vtrain and zcat both
say that in version 3.0.5, clearing history works fine, and only
bookmarks remain, as they should. The about:config thing is turn off
having even bookmarks show.

I have just installed 3.0.5 for Windows, and the problem is present. I
would like to know where to go to manually delete the data on my disk
drive. I found nothing in the registry, and a search of all files by
date wasn't very helpful. This would then be a manual workaround.
Setting 12 to 0
Hmmm, someone suggested a workaround that seems to work
In address bar type
about:config
instead of a urls location, now promise to be careful and find line
browser.urlbar.maxRichResults

A semi erase of the location bar is semi useful i.e. obviously useless.
Privacy means if you request void you get void. How difficult can this be?
Thanks for the address at bugzilla. Just reported the bug there.

Just adding my 2c, I also consider this a bug. Clear browsing history
ought to clear all of the user's browsing history, not just 'most of
it'. Obscure workarounds are not good enough. Please fix this.

mackenzie: I am not sure I understand. The problem is that, although the
web server has a new file (with the same name), firefox continues to
give me the old version until I manage to clear cache data (at least,
during the first 10 minutes since the change, I didn't wait more). MS

After installing the add-on, the clearing of cache etc works again. It
didn't remove the Awsome Bar results, tough.
Puzzled.

This is a me too with a comment: this is not limited to the Rich Results
list.
Before doing a clear private data:
(0)pern:~/.mozilla/firefox/az16pkko.default% du Cache OfflineCache
48024 Cache
8 OfflineCache
after doing it:
(0)pern:~/.mozilla/firefox/az16pkko.default% du Cache
Hmmm... something fishy going on. Adding the clear private data add-
on, selecting clear private data from the right-click menu, and the
windows appears and the data is correctly clearead:
(0)pern:~/.mozilla/firefox/az16pkko.default% du Cache OfflineCache
68 Cache

Romano:
Is it just keeping the memory open, or is the file still accessible somewhere
in Firefox? If it's not still find-able, I'd say what you found is just a good
ol' fashioned memory leak.
