Annoying Firefox problem

I am unable to remove a URL from the address bar. What I mean is that when I type in the first letters, it completes it for me. I have cleared all history, gone to 'forget this site' in history, and there is no cookie for this site, and yet it still comes up.

It's not a big deal, but it's a banking site (yes, that's banking with a 'b'!) but there is a potential for others to use this machine and I'd rather it weren't there.

I'm using Firefox 17.0.1 and W7.

Any idea how I can remove it? Thanks.
