I am trying to deactivate auto-compelete of address bar on Firefox 4. I know it was on settings --> privacy and it still is there. However it doesn't matter if I change it to "don't remember anything". When I go back to settings or try to type something, all my bookmarks are still visible.

Why I can't change that particular setting? Others work fine though

Firefox or Tools > Options > Privacy > Location Bar: When using the location bar, suggest: Nothing, History, Bookmarks, History and Bookmarks

That's exactly my problem. I do choose Nothing but when I click OK and than open settings again, it still says History and Bookmarks and keeps remembering.

I still have the same problem. Why firefox ignores my settings?
