How can I get the search bar at the top to not auto fill my bookmarked sites when trying to enter a search? If, for example, I enter "f" it automatically fills in facebook.com and will continue from the end of ".com" with what I am typing to search.

This happens every fourth or fifth search that I do

Both browser.urlbar.autocomplete.enabled and browser.urlbar.autoFill are both set to 'false' and the device has been rebooted several times...

This is a known bug with the Samsung keyboard. We have a change in Firefox 32 which should address it, Fx 32 will be released during the first week in September. The other option is to use the Google keyboard.
