Hi all. I'm having a problem where autocomplete still likes to finish typing websites for me even though I have the option not checked. I tried clearing the cashe but that didn't work. What could be causing this? Thanks.

Here's what I found under help.
you say you've changed the settings, maybe you need to clear your history (or, is this what you meant when you said you had cleared the cache?).
Other than that, I haven't a clue.
