Delete Items from Address Bar Dropdown

Post by tonydi »

FF 106.0.5 64bit

When I click in the Address Bar (I'm not typing anything, just clicking) it brings up a list of frequently visited sites (8 for me). I want to remove one of those entries. Everything I can find says to arrow down to it and do a Shift Delete. That doesn't do anything so the process must have changed in recent versions.

So how do I do it now?

Does that entry has a special badge attached like a pin for sites pinned on the Firefox Home page or a star for a bookmarked website ?

Nope just the std favicon for that site, nothing extra. I should note that Shift -Del doesn't work for any of the 8 entries.

Select "Bookmarks" then "Manage Bookmarks"
Look in the History > "Today" or "Yesterday" listing
Hilight the entry and Delete it

Or

Select the Hamburger menu (3 lines) > History > "Delete Page".

Brilliant, thanks Bruce! It had been months since I'd visited that site, which is why I wanted it gone. So I had to go find it (and just realized I could have just clicked the link and then it would right at the top of History).

I've got another question about deleting search bar history but I'll start a new thread.

Thanks again.
