I have been trying to figure out how to remove addresses from my www bar. I have clicked on the arrow to bring up all the places that the computer has been too. I have pressed delete on every single one of them, i cleared the history and the cookies on the computer. HOWEVER i still have all the unwanted websites on here. How do i get rid of them?

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

User Agent

Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 6.0; WOW64; Trident/4.0; SLCC1; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; Media Center PC 5.0; .NET CLR 3.5.21022; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; OfficeLiveConnector.1.5; OfficeLivePatch.1.3)

Do those entries have a yellow star? If they have then it are bookmarks and you can click that star to see the location (folder) of that bookmark.

If they are not bookmarks then see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locked_or_damaged_places.sqlite
