If you have nothing to hide it doesn't matter.

Doesn't the star next to each entry mean it is in your bookmarks somewhere?

Yes, but it's the "linkedin.com" autocomplete he's referring to, since it doesn't show up in any bookmarks (or nonexistent history)

Admittedly it wasn't a very clear article, and probably took longer to write than the bug request would have taken to submit. :/

In the location bar, arrow down to the entries you want and then hit delete (or shift delete?) and it should clear them.

Can you reproduce on a clean profile?

Did you file a bug?
