I'd like to disable the search stuff at the bottom of the address dropdown
Just a fussy detail, I really don't like the search options that appear on the bottom of the address bar dropdown when I type. I've tried disabling search suggestions and yet it still appears. Any help would be welcome! Thanks.

Hello dadglasser,
Would you try this please :
Type in the address bar about:config and press Enter (promise to be careful, if asked)
Type in the search bar browser.urlbar.
Look for the preference :
browser.urlbar.maxRichResults
And set its value to 0 (= zero)
Then type in the search bar :
browser.urlbar.oneOffSearches
and set its value to false (this last one will help you get rid of the bar that says "Search with ... ")
Then close and restart Firefox.

Hi dadglasser, if the only part you want to get rid of is the row of buttons at the bottom of the drop-down that you have a red box around in your first screenshot, you can skip to the second change in the first reply:

To flip a "boolean" preference from true to false, you can double-click it.
The second item:
browser.urlbar.oneOffSearches
was the solution for which I was looking. Thanks!
