Firefox address window problem

[aob]

When I open firefox and click on the down arrow for the address window, I expect a dropdown box showing me the last 5-10 sites I have visited. However, when I click on the down arrow, only the present address is shown. I can go to Go and find the last sites, but not if I click on the address window down arrow. How do I make that work?

In Firefox, go to Tools>Options and under "Privacy" press the History Tab. Make sure that a number other than 0 is written there. That should allow you to see the history of sites visited.

Tried that and it did not work. When I first looked, the number shown was 9 days. Changed the number to 5 and clicked on OK. Went to my home page. visited a site. Then visited a second site. Click on the down arrow and the only address shown was the current site. It should have shown both the home page and the first site visited. Again, clicking on the down arrow only shows the current site.

The address bar dropdown only shows urls that were entered in the address bar. The Go menu shows recent history. If you check the bottom of the Go list and click History you get more. You can check this by dragging any link into the address bar then look at your dropdown and the url should be there.

That makes sense.

I will just check with Go in the future.

Thanks.
