Comment(by Mikeplaysfootball):

 My browsing history was fully recorded with every website visited. Typing
 a letter into the url-bar it suggested previously visited websites to me.
 I checked and the prefs were set to save passwords and download history as
 well. I was using the most recent tor browser bundle downloaded from the
 official tor website. It was the second time I ran the bundle when I
 noticed the messed up privacy settings.

 I can assure 100% that I have not manually changed the settings. As of now
 I assume that it was an installation problem or an attack on the browser,
 possibly caused by malicious javascript code.
