When I open the "Save Page As" window, the drop-down box for the file name shows files that were saved long ago. This is not cleared by any "clear history" function that I can find. How do I clear this?

Hello.

I believe this is a Windows related issue, since it's the windows Save File manager we're talking about here (right?). You should contact Microsoft for help on that one, I believe. You'd expect to be able to delete the entries by simply tapping Delete on your keyboard when they are focused (that's how it goes for deleting specific form autocomplete entries in Firefox), but I haven't tried that.

I'm sorry I can't be of more help.

Just to be clear, I'm talking about the window that opens up when I "Save Page As" in Firefox.

Thanks for the reply. It does seem to be something in Windows. This seems to have fixed it: http://www.winxptutor.com/clearmru.htm
