Eliminate AddressBar suggestions
Under Options>Privacy & Security I disabled (unchecked) all the Address Bar actions because I don't want the auto-suggestions to pop up every time I click in the address bar. However, in spite of that, the suggestions continue to pop up. How do I get them turned off?? (Yes, I've closed and restarted the browser.)

Firefox shows eight top sites in the location bar drop-down list when this is enabled for the Firefox Home page.
You can disable top sites via "Options/Preferences -> Home".
If you never want to see the drop-down list opening then you can set this pref to '0' (zero) on the about:config page.
- browser.urlbar.maxRichResults = 0
You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I accept the risk!" to continue.

If you like other aspects of the address bar drop-down other than the automatic-opening list, you can disable the automatic opening behavior individually using:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button accepting the risk.
(2) In the search box in the page, type or paste URLBAR and pause while the list is filtered
(3) [Firefox 75-77] Double-click the browser.urlbar.openViewOnFocus preference to switch the value from true to false
(3) [Firefox 78-79] Double-click the browser.urlbar.suggest.topsites preference to switch the value from true to false
In Firefox 78 and later you should be able to do this via Options/Preferences. The location bar drop-down list can show history items, bookmarked pages, pages opened in tabs, and search suggestions. You can set what suggestions show when you enter an URL in the location/address bar bar.
