I went into Clear Private Data and checked off all the boxes, but for some reason when I click the down arrow in the address bar, it still shows 12 sites, most of which I haven't visited in ages. How do I clear this list?

Which version? In 3.5, be sure you use Everything for the time range.

Sure those aren't in your bookmarks? When typing in the address bar firefox goes thru your bookmarks.

If I am not mistaken it doesn't work in older versions. Get the newest addition of firefox.
