Hello bestellungen,
Would you do this please :
Type in the address bar about:config and press Enter.
(ignore the warning)
Type in the search bar and look for the preference :
browser.fixup.alternate.enabled  and set its value to false.
Do the same for these preferences :
browser.urlbar.suggest.searches
and
keyword.enabled
Then close and restart Firefox.
I hope this will work for you.

Hallo McCoy! Thank you very much for the quick help! I think (looking at the time stamp) you´re on the other side of the world! Thank you for your help for me here in Germany! Stay healthy! Greetings Herbert

Actually, the time stamp you see : that's the time at Mozilla HQ (California).
You and I are neighbors : I'm in the Netherlands .....
