Here's a handy tip if you are using Firefox*. You know the form entry fields? Like for comments below where you put in your name? Yes those fields.
Well, you know how they can save details** to make it easier to fill out forms? And you know how they full up with junk and crap from all over the place and stop serving the purpose of being useful as you have so many things in that field? And you know how you try to delete them like you did in IE by pressing the delete key and nothing happens? And you know how annoying and frustrating that is?
Well the trick is to press shift-delete.
Glad to server.
* And you really should be using it, because it's great (I said so) and IE sucks monkey butt.

on This Browser Showdown Page I Found it says the Stereotypical user of Firefox is a ‘Proselytizing ubergeek’. I reckon they have that right. But is says that IE users are ‘Brain dead newbies’, and I reckon they have that right too.
Geek power!
Firefox like, RULES! Or something. Totally.

I’m picking my jaw up from the desk right now because I was just about to google for this but came here instead. Colour me spooked.

And it works! You have to shift delete for each unnecessary option (I had about 30 alternative urls in there but damn, it’s worth it. Thanks Adrian.

You know if I could get a decent version for the Mac I would. Until then I’ll keep using Safari.
