Hitting the little down arrow triangle in the far right side of the location window lists an odd assortment of websites, so of which I do not recognize as ever visiting before.

I can delete the sites in the list, but when I do, an entirely different list of sites appears.

Clearing the history, auto entry, cache or cookies has no effect on clearing this list of sites from the location bar.

Reproducible: Always

Also bookmarks are included now in the autocomplete. They have a yellow star on the right side.
If you don't want autocomplete results at all, you can set browser.urlbar.maxRichResults to 0. See http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config

Bulk closing all UNCONFIRMED bugs dealing with places that haven't had any bug activity in over 120 days, have no votes, and are not enhancement requests.

If you are still experiencing this issue in Firefox 3.0 or later, please re-open the bug with steps to reproduce (if they were not part of the original comment).
