how do I get the location bar drop-down list to show the most recently visited page at the top? I have no idea how it's deciding what to display.
In IE when you show the drop-down list from the location bar, it show you all of your most recently visited pages in descending order with the most recent at the top. Firefox is showing me a list that I have no idea where it's getting the pages from or how it's ordering them. It doesn't update the pages or the order when I go to a new page. I have recently switched from IE to Firefox and cannot figure out how to get Firefox to do this; very annoying.

That drop down list doesn't show recently visited pages, but shows list list of most visited sites sorted by what the Mozilla devs call frecency (frequency and recency) and is based on bonus points. It is not possible to have much influence on what shows on that list.
If you want a list of recently visited sites then you can use a smart bookmark e.g. on the Bookmarks Toolbar with the location set to this smart folder.
Name: Recently Visited
Location: place:queryType=0&sort=4&maxResults=30
You need to close and restart Firefox to make that folder work as intended.

Works like a charm. Thank you.
You're welcome
I'm pretty computer-savvy but on clicking the links above on how to do this I'm pretty confused.
Is there a link to instructions on a clear path to creating a bookmarks folder that contains the recently visited sites sorted by recency?
Thanks.
Create a new bookmark and set the name and the location as posted above.
You need to close and restart Firefox to make the bookmark work as a smart folder.
You can create a new bookmark via the right-click context menu in the Bookmarks Manager (Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks) or the sidebar (Ctrl+B) or the Bookmarks Toolbar.
