I'd like the behavior that if I type something into the awesome bar and press enter, I search for exactly what was typed, and nothing more. However, I like having the drop-down list of autocompletable suggestions to be selected explicitly be me, via the arrow keys.

Afaik, I can either disable or enable both.

hello BenFoppa, yes you can do this - enter about:config into the firefox address bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up) & search for the preference named browser.urlbar.autoFill. double-click it and change its value to false.
