Hello skies, did you try to UNcheck Remember search and form history [ ] ?

go from Firefox menu > Preferences... to access the preferences window > Privacy panel > Use custom settings for history > UNcheck Remember search and form history [ ] .

If you have to Remember history then scroll select Use custom settings for history > UNcheck Remember search and form history [ ]

see: Use custom settings for history
