Address bar results withou searching for anything
Why do I have search results of pages inside my adress bar, that I almost never use?
This goes mainly for Reddit.com and Tagesschau.de, as im from germany this seems really strange?
The site mentioned is newssite (Tagesschau.de) controverial at best and I never use it. I have no idea why its there, in 1 year I probably got redirected to there without knowing twice.
So it cant be the most used sites iam on, especially if there is reddit too. I dont have an account and do not use the site. Since when does firefox has Ads in their adress bar?
What is this and how do I get rid of it? I doubt that it is one of the most used sites in germany, it cant be for alot of simple reasons. Age of the userbase does not fit with the Internet User group. 50% of the country does not like them (tagesschau page). Germany is in the IT Darkages except the tech savvy youth and generation 1980 to this day. This newsgroup is targeted towards an older generation and is still heavily invested in TV not the Internet. As it is statemedia its also highly out of touch with the current more internet focused generations, so I doubt that its because they generate traffic or anything else.
Is there a way do blank all search results on default? And I would really like to know how this page got there.

Hi, when you first click in the address bar, before typing any text for Firefox to match off of, Firefox normally displays the first 8-10 "Shortcuts" from the built-in Firefox Home / new tab page. So you have a couple options here:
(1) Curate your shortcuts collection to be more useful. See: Customize items on your Firefox New Tab page.
(2) Turn off Shortcuts as a category of address bar data. See: Address bar autocomplete suggestions in Firefox ("How can I control what results the address bar shows me?" section).
Does either of those get the bar working the way you want?
