Build ID: 20120213031153
Steps to reproduce:
Mistyped a URL in the URL bar.
Actual results:
Inline URL autocomplete (browser.urlbar.Autofill = TRUE) now lists the mistyped entry first.
Expected results:
Clearing the internet history should delete URL autocomplete entry, allowing it to store the correct address.

inline autocomplete entries are bound to entries that exist in the database, if you remove the mistyped entry from history it should disappear from inline ac.
Could you elaborate on the steps you followed to reproduce this?

1) Turn on autocomplete by changing about:config entry browser.urlbar.autoFill = TRUE
2) Type 'bnig.com' in address bar and press enter
3) Type 'bn' in address bar, incorrect entry appears ('bnig.com')
4) Clear history, entry remains

I see. ClearHistory is partially asynchronous, the visits are removed immediately but the pages may take a bit more time, can you still reproduce after, let's say, a couple minutes?
Yes. Strangely, the behavior appears to have been limited to the window when the feature was first turned on by default. New entries are being wiped with ClearHistory. Would migrating to a new profile delete the old entries?

not that I'm aware of, though some work may rarely happen at shutdown.

I just tried steps in comment 2, and after clearing history from the last hour autofill doesn't suggest anymore the wrong entry to me.
