Firefox quirk, is there a fix available?

You know the autocomplete feature? I'm prone to typing the first few letters of a site in and middle lcicking the autocomplete thing that pops up

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

However, every once in a while like when I type 'g' for gmail and I middle click Gmail.com it'll goto the Susan G Komen breast cancer awareness site o.o

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It will go to sites I've never even heard of :?

 

 

 

Just today I was typing in 'ti' for tipit and got a TOTALLY inappropriate site

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Is there anyway to fix this other than be more complete? :?

Don't go to sites you don't want to turn up in your auto complete? :P I clear all mine (along with cookies, temp files) every now and then.

 

 

 

Clearing it should get rid of all the sites, so you only get the ones you want to visit!

I told you it goes to sites I've never been before but have those letters in the name

 

 

 

Like the Susan G Komen breast cancer site :?

Oops sorry my bad. The only way to remove things from the FF autocomplete is by deleting the history afaik. And i can guarantee you that things dont appear in the FF auto complete unless someone has been on that site.

That's not what he meant. What he means is that if you type a word in the address bar and hit enter, Firefox will ask google what its top search result for that word is, and go to that page. That seems a likely explanation for what's happening.
