I do not want the first random site I've visited starting with that letter to pop up as soon as I type it in the URL. I know I'm getting to get a Google search if I hit enter on a question, I do not need that popping up above the others. I've tried "browser.urlbar.unifiedcomplete ", and that used to work. I've tried Greasemonkey, but that no longer works. I've tried Stylish, but that no longer works. A little help?

Please consider turning on send info to Mozilla before posting a question. This helps us help you.

In the address bar copy/paste about:preferences#search --> then enter. Un-tick Show search suggestions in address bar results.

Copy/paste about:config into the address bar --> and enter. In the search bar there copy/paste : browser.urlbar.searchSuggestionsChoice Double click to change to False. Restart Firefox

For further set to False if just the above does not do what expected, also gain performance : browser.search.suggest.enabled browser.urlbar.suggest.history browser.urlbar.suggest.searches

Please uninstall Flash 26.0 r0 as it is a security risk 3x's over Flash Player Version: 27.0.0.183 https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/ Step 1: Select Operating System Step 2: Select A Version (Firefox, Win IE . . . .) Note: Other software is offered in the download. <Windows Only>
