    I tried to log into a couple websites today a school and they didn't load. Now their titles in the history dropdown are the error messages, not the websites' names. I've been back to the sites since then, but it didn't refresh the names. Here's are screenshot of what I mean, the first and third entry (other website hidden because I'm a conspiracy theorist who lives in a shack in the woods).

    Highlight the undesireable entry (using the arrow keys or the mouse) and press the delete key.

    In my opinion, this is a less-than-ideal solution since FF3 seems to have a "memory" for the most often used websites. The two that I would need to erase are two of my most visited sites and it would take a while before they were back up at the top of the list. A REALLY minor issue I know, but shouldn't there be some way to force those page titles to refresh?
