While writing 10 (more) Windows Explorer alternatives compared and reviewed (the article that kept this site offline for about 12 hours, and forced me to switch hosting providers), I came across a very cool Firefox add-on (via Lifehacker) that allows you to use use Firefox to access Windows Explorer. Since I didn’t really consider it an ‘explorer alternative’, I didn’t use it in that list.

Firefox for Linux: use the drop-down button in your address bar, scroll to the site you wish to delete, and hit the Delete key on your keyboard (not the Backspace key).

Firefox for OS X: use the drop-down button in your address bar, scroll to the site you wish to delete, hold down the shift key and hit delete.

Firefox for Windows: use the drop-down button in your address bar, scroll to the site you wish to delete, and hit the Delete key on your keyboard (not the Backspace key).

Note: this will only remove it from the address bar drop-down list - not your browsing history.
