Every time I type into the URL (Awesome Bar?) my bookmarks show up as suggestions beneath it. I would like to disable this somehow.

I'm sorry that I didn't specify. I would like to be able to disable the bookmark suggestions within the mobile app. I checked and I do have the desktop setting at "Tell sites I do no want to be tracked."

This question is tagged as Mobile, but you posted with a desktop computer and Windows 7.0 according to the user agent.

What platform is your question about?

You can completely disable this drop-down list by setting the browser.urlbar.maxRichResults to 0.

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.

Forgive me for posting through my laptop. My moble app doesn't respond as fast as I like. I did try doing your fix, cor-el, in the mobile app. While I was able to change the value, even after rebooting, the drop-down list of bookmarks appears. If it matters, I run a rooted galaxy S5 running kitkat 4.4.2 with the latest version of the Firefox mobile app.
