Is there any way to disable the urlbar autofill on mobile? It used to be possible to just turn off `browser.urlbar.autofill` in `about:config`, but that's no longer available. Even if I use Firefox Developer or Nightly so that I can actually get access to `about:config`, the option is no longer there. I absolutely despise the autofill, and, up until the new version of the mobile browser, Firefox was the only browser that actually let me turn it off. I was disappointed when the update broke that, but I waited, figuring that it was still new and there were some kinks to work out. And now it's been months and it's still missing. Is there still some other way to turn this off, or am I missing something?

Hi

If you open the Firefox for Android menu and select Settings, under Search (if you scroll down) you should see a number of search related settings.

Which of these do you have switched to "on"?

Well, I feel stupid now. I don't think that I'd ever have thought to look in Search for general aytocompletion, and since the about:config option disappeared, I thought that it was gone. I'm really glad to see that it's not.

Thanks for the help.
