I can't find a way to configure it to use the one I want - simply removing the one that it's using doesn't do the trick. Any suggestions (other than re-adding the one that I want to use)?

When I click on the bar, i get ten sites that I haven't been to in two years. I delete them and the next time i click I get 10 sites that i haven't been to in three years. I just want the list of sites that I have recently been to. I don't need three year old junk. This is really stupid. When I click on the bar, i get ten sites that I haven’t been to in two years.
