Major FireFox error with 3.0.1 - Gasp!!! Security pros, please help...

So once a week I do a full cleaning of my system. Wipe all private data, defrag, you name it.

Enter Firefox 3.0.1. I do the install and go to type in a website and low and behold it shows sites I've visited in the URL bar drop down from NINE MONTHS!!! I just shit my pants when I saw it pulled up the US Embassy site in Jakarta that was last looked at in January of 2008!!!

There are lots of others sites it pulled out of its ass that should not be there anymore.

How is this even possible?

I clear my private data including sites I have visited, I run CCleaner once a week, defrag... clear everything I can find. Been doing that all of this time, yet FF 3.0.1 pulls it all back!!!

That just goes to show you that your private data never really leaves your system.

Help!
