Issue 18: any way to erase contents of drop-down menu on Editing Profile page?

When I tried to add a link to a profile, I was very surprised to find the
entire contents of my del.icio.us account appear in a drop-down menu below
the Link field.  I realized that I had del.icio.us open in another tab, so
I closed it.  The drop-down suggestions didn't go away.  I quit and
restarted my browser, and the suggestions didn't go away.  I restarted my
computer and logged back in to the database as a different user, and the
suggestions were still there.

Snatching the links from del.icio.us is handy, but also somewhat creepy,
and potentially a privacy problem on shared computers if there's no way to
erase them.

I encountered this using a Mac OS 10.3.9, running Firefox 2.0.0.12.

Okay, clearing the cache got rid of the drop-down menu, but it took me a while to
think of that solution because I am clueless and my understanding of the different
kinds of things that get stored in the cache is limited.  I'm sure I'm not the only one.

I still find this feature a little creepy.
