Can't delete history in URL bar searching result any more?

Post by dindog »

IIRC, one can delete search result item by hover the result and press "del" key. But I find that I can't do it any more, anyone know why & when Firefox changed that behavior?

You need to use the cursor Down/Up key to highlight an item and not hover the item.
You may also have to use Shift+Delete for items in the location bar drop-down list.
