Saved addresses (URLs) on Firefox address bar?

Question

My turn to ask a question for a change. I've noticed that on my Firefox (ver. 3.0.11), any URL I go to that happens to be a bookmark gets permanently saved on the pulldown URL list at the address bar. Such URLs are noted by a gold star. Since these are bookmarks, I don't need them there; they just clutter up the list. Yet, when I try to delete them (highlight-DELETE), they don't go away. They also don't go away via TOOLS-OPTIONS-PRIVATE DATE-CLEAR NOW-BROWSING HISTORY.

They will go away temporarily with [hightlight - DELETE], but when I restart the browser, they're back.

URLs that are not bookmarks can be deleted from the list as expected.

I searched Yahoo Answers for this topic before posting this question, but each answer only suggested what I've already tried (above), and none addressed the fact that the URLs shown are bookmarked URLs.

I noticed some posts on this topic that suggest Norton is the culprit. FWIW, I used the McAfee suite from Comcast.

Anyone have a clue?

 Otherwise, contact Firefox Support.

pick "techniques" from the authentic of the menu. Then pick "ideas". click the "privateness" tab on the authentic of the website. on the backside of the website you will see a button that asserts "sparkling now". click it. a sparkling window will pop up and you will verify basically the "surfing historic previous" field and then click "sparkling inner maximum information Now". that's now cleared.
