I have an explicit search box separate from the URL bar.
I want firefox to never ever pass any data from the URL bar to any search engine - DNS query only.
First, the URL bar has grey background text that says "Search with Google or enter address" - I don't want to search anything.
Second, when I type an address, below the URL bar a blue bar with a globe appears that says "visit" - and takes up space - previous versions of firefox did not do this - how do I get rid of this?
I have the following set:
browser.fixup.alternate.enabled = false
keyword.enable = false
browser.urlbar.autofill = false
browser.urlbar.suggest.bookmark = false
browser.urlbar.suggest.history = false
browser.urblar.suggest.openpage = false
browser.urlbar.suggest.searches = false
So why does it still do this?
Related - I actually don't want the browser to search on my behalf ever - if I want to search I'll go to google or bing or wherever and enter the data that way - is there a 'null' search engine entry that be substituted?
(Yes I understand that the URL has to be looked up in DNS, that's not what I mean.)
