Deleting items from the Firefox address bar

I just discovered a neat trick in Firefox: you can delete items from the address bar without messing about with about:config or editing the history.dat file.

John Bokma's blog has the details. I couldn't get it to work just by pressing Delete, but Shift-Delete works fine for me. Possibly it is a minor difference due to version numbers or one of Firefox's bazillions of configuration settings.
