Chosen solution

I followed directions and using the up-down key to select an item and then the shift-delete I could delete the item from the drop down box. But, when I closed Firefox and the reopened it all the items I had deleted were back. None are bookmarked items. What now?

Hi Marion, the sites were back in the drop-down list, or the sites are still in history or in thumbnails on the new tab page?

Drop down list

History items should be removed if you press Shift+Delete on a selected item. Bookmark items with a star can't be remove permanently, you need to remove the bookmark in such a case or exclude bookmarks from showing as suggestions.
