Thanks for those links; it seems I'm not alone in despising th new
behavior!  It appears that, in release 3.1, there will be an option,
browser.urlbar.restrict.history, which can be set to "" (i.e. nothing)
in about:config, which will cure the problem.  In testing, we seem to
have 3.01, so I guess I'll have to wait a bit.  Meanwhile, the "Hide
Unvisited" extension does part of the job.
