remove autocomplete about:home

Until (perhaps) yesterday typing anything in the search box on the about:home page would not produce any suggestions. I liked this and I want to choose whether or not any suggestions appear.

Now (definitely) today Firefox suggests search topics in the Google box. If I wanted this I could choose Google as my home page, but would prefer about:home to remain as home page.

I do not want any autocomplete options in the search box. Can anyone advise? Anyone having the same issues? I loathe autocomplete, it feels so invasive!

browser.urlbar.autocomplete.enabled set to false

Firefox 33.0.2

Superb. Fantastic quick response.
