How come when I open my web browser the first link I see is (visit website) instead of links to websites I use often. For example in the web browser I type "F" and the first link that pops up is "visit Facebook" - I want it to be like it was so when I click "F" in the web browser the first suggested link is my facebook page?

That's a new feature in Firefox 43. To turn it off do this:

  1. Go to about:config in Firefox
  2. Click the I'll be careful button
  3. Locate the browser.urlbar.unifiedcomplete boolean
  4. Change the value to false

Note: You may need to restart Firefox for the changes to take effect.
