I have recently converted to Firefox and what a joy it is being able to open every tab from your last session in one go.

When I was a IE user I used to access all my favourite sites by keeping the TypedURLs in the registry up to date. So if I made a typo and got some rubbish site on my address bar dropdown I would just go and delete it. Firefox doesn’t use that registry entry.

Any idea how to edit the dropdown?

In the dropdown itself, select the ones you want to delete and hit “ctrl-shift-del” to remove them.

This works for any kind of remembered list of entries in a dropdown.

Actually, it may just be “shift-del”.
