Try pressing down to select it and then shift + backspace to delete the memory of it. I have to do this a lot to clean up old self hosted urls that it keeps suggesting.
Same but I just press delete instead of shift + backspace
In Firefox? Delete doesn't do anything for me on v137, I think because even when you press arrow down you are still typing in the address bar so it deletes characters instead of deleting the entry
I am using Linux, not sure if that makes any differrence.
the official method seems to be shift + delete

Ah, hmm might just be a packaging difference, I just use the arch and Manjaro packages
Just tested it again. Shift+Delete works but Delete alone not. Perhaps it was changed since last time
