I agree with Steve. I can't tell you how many times I've accidently clicked
that red 'x'! I work in a development environment where I utilize a
particular address many times over the course of a day but don't need it long
enough to throw into my favorites. Sure enough, as I'm cruising along doing
my work I'll click the down arrow, click the url I need and next thing I know
my url is deleted. Ugh! Please change this.
I like both ideas of the red 'x' to the far left of the dropdown as well as
a context menu delete choice. Anything but where one clicks 90% of the time
to choose the url from the drop down list.
