Remove hotmail from firefox ad. bar.

[heckler55]

Hi team, does anyone know how to permanently delete the Hotmail link from FF address bar drop down? I read somewhere that it should automatically go if the account has been idle for some time. I havent used hotmail for 9 months and i want it gone. No matter what i do, it keeps coming back, even after deleting all cookies. Is this bordering on malware?.....Cheers.

You can change the Location bar settings to Nothing and History to Never remember history.

 

It's probably custom set to remember history at a predefined period of time.

 

The Mozilla page has more on this including how to delete a single entry. Location bar autocomplete | How to | Firefox Help

That's right, just make the changes you require and click OK

Thanks Guys, will play around with the settings for a bit and see what comes of it.

Have done all that was suggested by ff (again), but the link still remains. Very annoying.

Did you try setting it like mine?

Firefox>Tools>Options>Privacy

You can change the Location bar settings to Nothing and History to Never remember history.

If you set it like that, OK the changes and restart Firefox there is nothing to rememember. Notice the bookmark setting in the location bar. It may be pulling it up from bookmarks and not history?

Hello Heckler. Just verify that you haven't added the site by mistake to your Bookmarks. Press Ctrl + B and expand all the entries in the left pane. Look for the Hotmail link and if you find it, right-click on it and select Delete. Restart Firefox and see if it still suggests the entry or not.

 

Let us know how it goes. :)

Thanks Goku, that did the trick. It was hiding in there, like you said. Goodbye Hotmail!!!
