Ok
Go to tool-Internet Options-Content-Autocomplete and clear the previous history and uncheck them if you dont want it to do so in the future. Does that help ? |

sorry no help, they are still coming up it the drop down menu when i start typing. this is really annoying for me since i like to find things i've searched for in the past but cant remember exactly what i serched, there are just too many options.
and i am using mozilla firefox as my default browser, and i have run a full clean up (the program) with every optioned clicked. |

I did some exploring in Firefox, and I think I found what you are looking for. I have never had this problem myself and I have been using Firefox a long time now. See the top of your brower, tools menu. Go to tools, options, click on the Privacy "padlock". Then see "saved information" click on the +, and then remove the check at "save information...." You can also tweak the rest of security settings here, like saving passwords, history etc, all of which I suggest you do not allow any browser to do.
