How to disable Address Bar Word Highlighting
I recently upgraded firefox 13 to 18 , one thing that bothers me is that when I type a text in the search bar to see the url suggestions , all URLs from the drop down list have the text's words or letters highlighted in grey within them (as a way of telling me how they are related to the text being typed ) . I would like to disable this feature .
