Do you have the yahoo toolbar activated for firefox?  This probably operates seperate from firefox, and you'll have to go into the options for this toolbar and opt out of it remembering your history.  Hope this does the trick!

Are you using Internet Explorer, Mozilla FireFox, or the SBCYahoo! browser.\n\nIf you are using Internet Explorer (and you most likely are), go to Tools --> Internet Options.  Click on the Content tab, then click the AutoComplete button.  In the next window, you will have the Clear Forms option, which will clear your search history.  In this same window, you will also have the option to tell Explorer to no longer save this information.  It sounds complicated but it will only take you about 10 seconds.\n\nIf you are using Firefox, go to Tools --> "Clear Private Data".\n\nIf you are using the SBCYahoo! Browser, STOP USING THE SBCYahoo! Browser!!!

Items in the "search bar thing" have nothing to do with cookies.\n\nFor the Yahoo toolbar check the controls under the pencil menu. For other toolbars check their options.\n\nThe list which appears in a search box is actually part of the forms fill-in feature controlled by your browser. Clearing history or cookies will not remove the search history. Clearing history only removes the history of sites visited not searches.\n\nTo stop or clear search history in Internet Explorer:\nGo to tools/internet options/content tab.\nUnder Personal information click on the "AutoComplete" box.\nYou can "clear forms" or stop search history there.\n\nA single item can be deleted rom the search history by pressing the "delete" key while the item is highlighted.\n\nTo stop or clear search history in Firefox:\nGo to tools/options/privacy button/saved forms tab\nYou can "clear forms" or stop search history there.\n\nA single item can be deleted by pressing the "shift delete" key while the item is highlighted.\n\nFor other browsers just look for the automatic forms fill-in feature.
