How to get rid of urlbar dropdown items?
See those about:c items listed in the dropdown window? They appear whenever I type about:c in the urlbar. How do I get rid of them? I do NOT want them to appear when I type about:c in the urlbar. Is there an about:config setting to stop this?

You can cursor down the list and press the Delete key to get rid of them. You can go to about:preferences#privacy and uncheck what the address bar will suggest but doing so will remove everything else that matches the category.

Hi,
or...
You can do the following to be rid of all the "suggestions."
Open a new, blank tab.
Type or copy 'n' paste "about:config" in the address bar and press the Enter key.
Accept the silly risk.
Type "urlbar" into the Search box at the top. (NOTE: NO quotes anywhere.)
Right click the "browser.urlbar.maxRichResults" preference
& you can MODIFY it to suit your needs.
The default is 10....so select 0 (zero) to remove all & click OK.
The change is instant.
