• How can I turn off default 1 search result in the awesome bar?

  Since the release of 43, it seems that the Awesome bar fills the first result as a generic 'visit' or 'Search' for anything typed in the bar. It's very frustrating because I know where I want to go, and my search history used to fill specific sites, I went to. This new feature to the Awesome Bar takes you is a generic search engine default search, or right on the first page for a specific site.

  For example, it may be a forum page that I regularly to. and in the latest Firefox would fill this page first in my results, which allows a fast navigation. However, the most recent update makes it do that the first result is a query to perform a generic search for what I typed in, or at best to take me to the first page of the site in question, make me have to either type the URL complete, favorite every page ever, I want to navigate to and just use bookmarks now or , or cross my fingers and pray that they default 1 result in the Awesome bar accurately reflects my wishes of navigation (which he never does).

  Is it possible to either:

  1. find the process that causes this 1 default result in the Awesome bar and disable/delete, preferably with extreme prejudice.

  2 prevent the features of Firefox that interacts with a browser default search?

  In its current form, I deliberately ignore the 1st result of the Awesome Bar, because it never fulfills what I want. Specifically, it will fill never I don't want things.

  Hi Danon72.

• How can I stop Firefox giving search suggestions in the address bar?

  From the last update, if I start typing something in the address bar, I get random search suggestions as if I was using the search instead. How can I disable this? It is kind of annoying, and it really bothers me. I read in another article that I went to about: config and checked "I'll be careful", it would stop, but I'm worried it may screw up my browser. Is there another way to solve this problem? Or do I just move a superior browser?

  No it won't cause other problems as long as you do not change other preferences.

  (b) I type wrong address in the navigation bar (NOT the search box) and I get a Yahoo to "links" page Do stop.

• How to decrease the number of the suggestions in the "Awesome Bar"?

  Today, the address bar suddenly showed 12 sites when I start typing characters in there.
  So far, he has always shown 4.
  The settings seem to only let me choose if sites must be from the bookmarks/history/both/none.

  I have not installed the extensions lately, or update of FF at all in a long time. It is truly disruptive, have it take up my whole screen. Please help me.

  As far as I know, the default value was always 12; 6 is displayed with a sliding bar on the right to scroll down for 6 more. You can set a preference to any value you choose. See the article on how to use about: config- http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config

  1. type of topic: config in the URL/address bar and press the Enter key
  2. If you see a cautionary, accept it (promise to be careful)
  3. Search = browser.urlbar.maxRichResults
  4. in the lower panel, double click on this item and set a numeric value for the number of items
  5. close the topic: config tab and test

• Please, I don't want suggestions of the awesome bar! By using the Tools menu won't stop him...

  I don't want any suggestions! I put the control via the Options of a lot of time for nothing, but it's always with a new session. Please can I stop it altogether!

  You can check for problems with preferences.

  Delete possible user.js and files numbered prefs-# .js and rename (or delete) the file prefs.js to reset all the prefs by default, including the prefs set via user.js and pref which is no longer supported in the current version of Firefox.

  You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder currently in use:

  • Help > troubleshooting information > profile directory: see file (Linux: open the directory;) Mac: View in the Finder)

  Windows hides certain default file extensions.
  Among them are .html, .ini and .js, .txt, so you can see only file name without the file extension.
  You can see the type of actual file (file extension) in the properties of the file via the context menu in Windows Explorer.

• I want to delete search suggestions in the drop down menu in the address bar. I don't have swagbucks - is there another solution?

  I want to keep my bookmarks/history in the address bar, but delete the search suggestions that appear. These suggestions have barely started to appear last week, and they are boring and useless! Previous solutions have said that this is related to the swagbucks, but I have this installed (and don't know what it is). How can I remove the search suggestions, but keep my history and bookmarks?

  Make sure that you use the address bar and not the search bar.

• I want to delete search suggestions in the drop down menu in the address bar.

  I've just updated Firefox to 22.0 and now when I type something in the address bar, the menu drop-down displays search suggestions. I used to be able to type a letter or two from the site that I wanted to go to and just press enter and Firefox automatically I would have it if it was the first thing on the list. However, now it is more complicated because the search suggestions appear as well as elements in my story. Is there a way to delete these suggests research?

  I had the same problem. If you have not installed, the toolbar for swagbucks what you need to do is to click on the arrow to the right of the swagbucks icon and go to the "toolbar options". Under Advanced settings, there will be an option that says 'enable search suggestions in the address bar '. Make sure it is not selected, and your problem should be solved.

• I don't get the Awesome Bar suggestions...

  If I type something in the awesome bar, it is not give suggestions. I tried safe mode, but no change...

  I use Firefox 4.0.1 but I also had the problem with 4.0 and 5.0 (beta).
  I use Windows 7 (64-bit).

  Disable "AVG Safe Search", it causes problems of location bar as the ability to use 'Enter' can be a symptom of many other problems such as accidents and crashes. It is listed in the extensions problematic - MozillaZine Knowledge Base , and it must be stuck in the block list. You must follow the instructions to reinstall "AVG Free" without the "Link Scanner" component so that it will not continue to be a problem with the new profiles or new versions of Firefox. Compensation for the "AVG" antivirus version has an option to disable the 'feature '.

  Don't know if that will solve your problem, but try it first.

  Safe mode would have stopped the extension so it's not the immediate problem.

• Right click on the search bar, if there is already text inside, will bring up search suggestions in the context menu.

  Right click on the search bar, if there is already text inside, will bring up search suggestions in the context menu.

  This occurs when the search box had NOT been developed. Sometimes if there is search visible replacement engines.

  I find cela bug/annoyance.

  Hello m4lvolio, thank you for reporting this issue.
  However, it is a mainly managed by the community support forum, probably isn't the right place to report bugs (we are unable to implement all the features & devs read here).
  If you think this is a bug in the browser (and I can reproduce the issue certainly), please fill in a bug at bugzilla.mozilla.org.

• How can I get the Awesome Bar Google search parameters?

  For example: if I type "site:support.mozilla.org browser" in Google or even some new-tab for Firefox addons, I get a page with the Google search results on this site for that keyword. If I type the same line in the "Awesome Bar", I get an error page.

  I would like different settings of Google search through when you use the address bar to search.

  This should work if you type search terms and additional parameters such as site:xxx.com at the end.

• STILL not able to stop Search Suggestions

  This follows a previous question, I asked to Stop the search in the Awesome bar Suggestions. The solution presented in this issue, worked for awhile, but now the ugly problem is back.

  I made turn off Search Suggestions for Google search (indeed, for all the included search engines), and I inserted the URL described in the response. It's not good - search Suggestions are back.

  I am able to disable Search Suggestions in Google Chrome. I am also able to disable Google instant, something that I'm not (yet) in Firefox.

  Problem finally solved by choosing "when Firefox starts: display a blank page" my homepage setting in about: vacuum.

  When Firefox starts, or when I go to my homepage or when I open a new tab, I enter my search term the Awesome bar. (No other place to go). The research opens at the following URI:

  https://www.Google.com/search?hl=en & full = 0 & site = webhp & q = [search term]

  Now, I can type a new term in the area of own Google search with no search for search suggestions. The resulting URL is:

  https://www.Google.com/search?hl=en & full = 0 & site = webhp & q = [new keyword] & [long string of code]

  Of course, this means I must renounce fancy new Home Page of FF 13, but I can live with that.

  I should add that this is not a Firefox problem in itself. It's really on the way to thwart Google.
