    Hello,
    I don't know how you call this, but in Mozilla, rightmost of the address bar, there is this scroll down menu will many addresses used before.

    Is it possible to edit this list, keeping those I like and throwing away things I don't ?
    I'm not afraid of using a text editor to do the job, but I don't know how the file is called where this info is located, and where to look for it (I'd guess in the profile directory, but which name ???)

    Thanks in advance !

    The question has come up at another newsgroup, if I understand your question.
    The only possible place can be accessed by clicking on a down arrow, not a scrollbar. You can remove all addresses by means of your preferences|History
    clear location bar, and you can clean them up, selectively, by highlight an address, and using Shift-Delete. That address will be gone.

    Westside,

    I don't think highlight/shift+delete works in Moz (upto 1.7.5) Don't know about 1.8x - It does work in FF. The only way I know of is via edit of localstore.rdf.

    BACKUP BEFORE EDITING
    1. With NS/MOZ closed, Go to your profile, Locate the "localstore.rdf" file
    2. Right-click and Open with Plain Text editor (Notepad, Wordpad etc)
    3. Search file for:
    <RDF:Seq about= "nc:urlbar-history ">
    You will see all the URLs listed, and you can proceed to delete/edit any URL that you wish.
    4. File/Save
    5. Open Netscape/Moz.

    regards:captjlddavis

    Capt,
    you are completely correct. My answer was lazy, and, since the powers to be at this newsgroup do not like link to competing newsgroups, I came up with the first thing which came to me mind.
