I wish they'd just give me an ability to delete address bar suggestions/favorites like in the old days. One of their worst old bugs if you upgraded from a previous release.

Is this distinct from keyboard-navigating to it and pressing Shift+Del?

  Yeah doesn't work. That's the bug

    click and hold the suggestion with the mouse, and tap Shift + Delete.

    I just tried it. It worked. Are we doing different things? 1. Clicked in the URL bar. 2. Started typing something. 3. Arrow-keyed down to one of the entries under “Firefox suggest.” 4. Tapped Shift+Del. The entry was gone and didn’t come back next time I typed the same thing in the URL bar.

      its a bug for people who have upgraded in the past (Im not sure how many upgrades I have gone through but its been years worth). The issue is not with URLs when you start to type (those I can shift+del) but rather when you have a new tab (or empty URL bar) and you click into the address bar, it prepopulates with a list of URLs from somewhere, probably an internal db. It is these suggestions that I cannot shift+del on. FWIW my Settings > Privacy > Address bar settings Browsing History selected & Shortcuts selected. The remainder are unselected.

        Another possibly unhelpful suggestion: find the site in your history, then right-click and select "Forget about this site"?

        I will try this.

        Do NOT do this for any large domains like google by the way, unless you want to wait ten minutes and have all your google history/cookies wiped.

Settings → Privacy → Address Bar.

  That doesnt change the ability to delete these entries.
