Firefox: Bookmarks showing in Location Bar?

Ok, here we go. I have the latest version of Firefox.

In order to prevent bookmarks from showing in your "awesome" bar or "amazing" bar (or whatever they call it now) when you type you simply go to tools/options/privacy/location bar and pick what you want or don't want Firefox to suggest in the location bar. Simple right?

Choices:

Show history and bookmarks

Show History

Show Nothing

I set it to show "history" only. Yet is still shows my bookmarks and it's driving me insane! No matter what I do, i.e. clear cache, restart Firefox, restart my PC, etc., bookmark suggestions just keep appearing. What am I doing wrong??????????????

    This article describes a feature available in Firefox 3.0, Clear Private Data, which allows you to delete all or part of your saved history.

    This feature has been upgraded for Firefox 3.5, and is now called Clear Recent History. In addition to being able to clear all or part of your saved history items, you can specify how much of your history is cleared (e.g. the last hour). To learn about this feature, see Clear Recent History.
