Bug Description

Firefox's memory. I have all options checked within BB for Firefox. However, after having run BB, if I type a URL -- for a site I've directly typed in the past -- into the address bar, Firefox remembers the hostname. It doesn't remember all the pages I've been to, but it does remember the domain. This seems a little insecure. How can I totally clear the History with BB?

OS: Ubuntu 14.04
Browser: Firefox 29.0
BlearchBit: 1.0

1. Type in wunderground.com into URL
2. Browse website
3. Exit Firefox
4. Run BB (GUI) with all options for Firefox checked
5. Click Delete
6. Close BB
7. Optional: Restart computer
8. Launch Firefox
9. Begin typing "wunderground.com"

Expected: URL will not autocomplete; 100% of site hostname must be typed
Actual: Firefox autocompletes "wunderground.com"

What am I missing?
