When I type in web searches, Firefox remembers them with a system similar to predictive text. How can I erase the search history list, because deleting the history with the organise tool doesn't work. Please help.

When I type in searches I don't want a box to appear under the search box trying to predict what I'm going to type next. Can I disable the system(prediction box) or erase the history list or both?

Right-click the Search bar and click on Show Suggestions.

Thanks for the suggestion, but no effect, when I right click on the search bar all I get is; select all (which does nothing), add keyword to this search (which is the opposite of what I want) and add dictionary (again adding something). Do you have any other ideas? :)
