I have my settings to not fill in the URL bar when I type. Yet, when I type something, it's giving me a drop down of sites that match as I type. Why? And how do I get it to stop? It's really annoying.

Example: If I'm typing in www.mozilla.com, when I get to www.mo, it drops down a list of all the sites I've previously gone to that start with that.

Do you have an extension to make that setting or did you change the pref [http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.urlbar.maxRichResults browser.urlbar.maxRichResults] on the about:config page to 0 or -1?
In the Firefox 3.0.x versions you are limited about what to do with the location bar.

If you update to Firefox 3.5.x or 3.6.x then you have more options for the location bar behavior.<br />
