Firefox Beta5 - Can't delete address bar history

[jimwbruce]

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

I am using Ubutnu Mozilla Firefox 3 Beta 5. It does not seem to allow me any way to delete address bar history. Eg I type in www the first entry I see is "Sex Education in Public Schools" I highlight it and hit Delete or CTRl-Delete or Alt-Delete and the item vanishes but reappears the next time www is typed in the address bar.

Deleting history files when exiting Firefox has no effect on the address bar history. I would like to set autocomplete features off completely as I am a pretty fast keyboarder and selecting items is usually slower for me than typing them.

Is this reproducible in Firefox-2.0 in Hardy as well?
