History does not clear in address drop down menu

After going to tools--clear history, and tools--options on multiple occasions, my drop down history does not clear from my address bar, nor does it create new history. I still want control of my address bar, so "nothing" under location bar does not solve the problem either. Speaking to someone about this would be greatly appreciated.

The location bar drop down consists of your history and bookmarks, so it's possible that you're seeing bookmarks. Try setting it to only display history.

Firefox location bar history does not clear

Problem: When I attempt to delete or clear the Location bar, nothing happens. The Location Bar remains fixed and does not update as I browse. This fixed Location Bar history still remains despite various methods of clearing it.
Specs: Running Firefox 3.6.8 on Windows Vista.
Details: Despite various methods, location bar history remains fixed and does not change or update as I browse. I wish for it to display an accurate history but it instead remains fixed. The only way to clear it is to open Tools > Options, and click on Nothing under Location bar suggestions. However, this renders the location bar useless for providing history.
- Selecting websites in Location Bar and pressing "Delete" or "Backspace" has no lasting effect. The website goes away while the Location Bar is pulled down, but reappears in the exact same spot when the Location Bar is viewed again.
- Clearing recent history, with time range set to everything and all options selected in the Details panel, does nothing.
- Pressing Ctrl-Shift-H and deleting all history does not clear Location Bar.
- While in History, highlighting any websites displayed on the Location Bar and telling Firefox to forget it does not clear the Location Bar.
- Running Firefox in Safe Mode still gives me the same problem. Location Bar does not change.
P.S. Location Bar does not display Bookmarks. There are no stars next to any web addresses despite changing Location Bar Suggestion settings to "Bookmarks".
I simply want to get my Location Bar back in working order, but have been unable to do so following the conventional methods suggested on Firefox Support. Thanks for your help!

The "Clear Search History" feature in the upper right drop-down menu no longer works in Firefox 4.

The "Clear Search History" feature in the upper right drop-down menu that shows search terms no longer seems to work in Firefox 4.

It is possible that there is a problem with the file that stores the "Saved Form" data. 
Rename or delete formhistory.sqlite (plus formhistory.sqlite-journal and formhistory.sqlite.corrupt and formhistory.dat, if they exist) in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder] in case there is a problem with the file that stores the "Saved Form" data. 
This will remove all saved form data, so you may want to rename formhistory.sqlite to formhistory.sqlite.sav or move the file to another folder in case you need to recover some saved data.
You may also need to delete search.sqlite and search.json in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder]

OK, report back once it is done even if it works so that others with similar problems can find solutions.

MY history does not clear when i select clear history +clear is on"everything" ?

clearing history does not work anymore, I select the option to clear everything. In order to clear history I have to go under show all history and delete each individual item

I have the latest version. I have History only selected. When I manually select Clear Recent History, it deletes some items but not everything. I just performed Clear Recent History and 8 sites are still showing up. None of them are in my Bookmarks and most of them I haven't visited in weeks. It is a real pain finding the sites that I would like to select when all this garbage fills up the list.

Im working on pcr, issue is data is not popping up in drop down menu

Issue : I select a value from the drop down menu(working fine), below this, I have another drop down, in badi, this code is written in function module of method 'SCENARIO_PROCESS_USER_COMMAND', since it should trigger after the first d.d menu(user cmd).
While I'm Debugging I could see, the select query in the event 'SCENARIO_PROCESS_USER_COMMAND' is fetching the records and appending 'additional_data' itab.
I guess there is problem in front end, ie in tx. 'sfp' .
What is the javascript/formcalc code I need to add here for my 2nd drop down menu.
Thanks in advance

How can I restore my iphone to a backup that's not listed in the drop down menu

I updated my iphone and everything was removed. I attempted to restore it however the only backups that are available when I have the iphone logged into itunes is the one from today. How can I apply an older backup say 1 to 2 days ago to the drop down menu of the restore button? Right now the only thing that's showing up is the one for today and that's abslolutely not the one I want or need. And before the question is asked no I didn't save it to icloud.

iTunes only keeps one normal backup, per device. Thus, there are no previous backups from 1 or 2 days ago unless you restored your phone & backed up before you restored. Restore point backups are time/date stamped & are not overwritten.

Printer will not list in the drop down menu

I have an HP Officejet 6500A (E710) printer running with Windows 7. When I route a word document to the print menu the "name" box is empty. The drop down menu includes the all the printers with the Officejet as the default printer but when I clink on it, it will not appear in the "name" box. I have removed the driver and reinstalled it without effect. I would appreciate any suggestions as to how I might print a document.
This question was solved.

3. Click on it.

I'm using Mac with OS 10.9.4 and Photoshop CC. I am unable to access "Focus Area Selection". When I go to "Select" on menu its simply not there in the drop down menu. Any help?

How do I access "Focus Area Selection" in Photoshop CC on a Mac? It's not showing in the "Select" drop-down menu.

Select > Focus area is in Photoshop CC 2014, not Photoshop CC. So you must download and install CC 2014 to have access to this new feature.

Whne I clear all history it does not clear the address bar, I still can click on the right side and see all of my past web sites

I am using the newest version, and have done a clear recent history with all boxes checked

Entries in the location bar drop down list with a yellow (blue on Mac) star at the right end are bookmarks. 
You can remove such a bookmarked item that shows in the list if you open that url in a tab and click the yellow star in the location bar. 
This will open the "Edit This Bookmark" dialog and you can click the Remove button to remove the bookmark if you want to remove such a bookmarked entry.

History does not clear on exit

When I exit Firefox and restart it all my history is still present even although I have it set to automatically clear the history when I close the application.
In the privacy tab I'm using custom settings for history, I also have the checkbox selected for clearing history when Firefox closes, and under settings I have everything selected, but it's not working. I even thought about a second instance of the application running in Windows processes but there was only one and it disappeared when I closed it.
I'm running the latest version of Firefox (35.0.1), with OS of Win 7 Prof. Service pack 1.
This used to work ok until about 2 weeks ago (According to my history). It's driving me nuts now and I'm thinking of changing to Chrome unless I can get it fixed.

Hello scotcan,
any luck if you delete in your [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox#Windows profile folder] the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/User.js_file User.js file] you have ?
The user.js file '''does not exist by default'''. If you create the file, forget it, if you have not create the file then delete the User.js file, to see if the problem goes away (some programs create and write in the file also).
thank you
