dave_in_austin, That does not work for the Location Bar History in Firefox 3. It did in Firefox 2, but no more. Thus the reason why I posted the fix for FF3.

For those of you that have downloaded and using Firefox 3, you MAY have noticed that it keeps a "history" of your latest typed in or visited locations in the location bar drop down menu (arrow on right of bar).

This could be embarrassing to a lot of people if your computer is used by others. This is not cleared on exit as was previously done in Firefox 2.

Here is a work around that fixes this:
1. In the browser location bar type: “about:config� (without quotes)
2. A screen will appear that says: “This might void your warranty� click “Yes, I’ll be careful�.
3. Next you will see a screen with hundreds of lines of options. Type ‘urlbar’ in the space marked ‘Filter’.
4. Look for the line that reads: browser.’urlbar.MaxRichResults’
5. Double click on that line — a box will pop up — change the integer to “0″ (without quotes).
6. Close the box and click the browser BACK button to return to the main browser window.
7. In the Preferences, go to Privacy (PC = Options > Tools) and set “Keep my history for “0″ days�.
8. Quit Firefox and the next time you start, you SHOULD not have this annoying issue.
