"Type or paste enough text for Firefox to show the item in the drop-down.
   Press the ↓ down arrow key to highlight the item.
   Hold down the Shift key and press Delete on your keyboard."

Until recently I used to be able to clear my searches ( with clock icon) in the address bar, by doing the following: "Type or paste enough text for Firefox to show the item in the drop-down. Press the ↓ down arrow key to highlight the item. Hold down the Shift key and press Delete on your keyboard." This no longer works, can anyone please tell me why it no longer works, and what is the alternative. Many Thanks Galinda
