This browser just keeps getting worse and worse. Mozilla is trying to make simple browser into it's own mini operating system and I'm getting really fed up with it. Every three months yet another ridiculous "feature" gets thrown on us.

Pocket? Marketplace? Hello? WTF has happened to this product...

Could you be more specific about what you're talking about?

Maybe it's this: need an option to remove the new 'visit url' default on the address bar.

If not, what do you mean by

I don't want the browser to suggest me all known sites...

Sorry, I have attached the screen-shot but it looks like it didn't save...

Attaching it again.

My first guess was correct. That top item is for your information: it describes what is going to happen if you press Enter or click the Go button.

• If there are no spaces in what you typed, usually that first row will show where "autofill" will take you if you press Enter or click Go.
• If there are spaces in what you typed, that first row will show what search engine will be used if you press Enter or click Go.

However, if you want to skip over that and use the first suggested site from history or bookmarks, it is still one down-arrow-press from where you are typing.

If you find it more annoying than useful, you can remove that line in two ways:

(1) Roll back the changes to the bar using a preference

This prevents Firefox from showing search engine suggestions on the bar, so for anyone wanting to display those, this would not be a good approach.

(A) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button promising to be careful.

(B) In the search box above the list, type or paste URLB and pause while the list is filtered

(C) Double-click the browser.urlbar.unifiedcomplete preference to switch it from true to false

(2) Hide the top line of the bar using a custom style rule

You can apply custom style rules to Firefox's user interface using either the Stylish extension or a userChrome.css file. For example, here's a rule that will do the trick:

 @namespace url(http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul);  #PopupAutoCompleteRichResult richlistitem[type*="heuristic"] {    display:none !important;  }

If you prefer this approach, we could spell out the steps in more detail.

(UPDATE) Regarding #2, you can install the Stylish extension and a userstyle:

• https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/stylish/
• https://userstyles.org/styles/122394/url-bar-tweaks-remove-visit-search-scroll-bar

Results illustrated in the attached.

Note that his is not really a new feature, but it has now been enabled in Firefox 43 by default.

The only thing that is new in the latest built and it is annoying as a m***** is the thing I have shown in the screenshot.

jscher2000, your suggestion disable all autocomplete url, which I do not want.

Before the update, I could press F (in the url bar) and I had my facebook page first, now somehow it suggest me a facebook.com instead of:

https://www.facebook.com/thetgchan

why?

Hi, you can turn off search suggestions in the location bar, by opening the 3-bar menu > Options (cog wheel) > Search, then deselect 'Show search suggestions in location bar results.'

If your question is resolved by this or another answer, please take a minute to let us know. Thank you.

It doesn't change a thing.

It looks like it squeezes the homepage of the url you have in history on the first place, even though you have never visited it before.

For example:

The only url I have in my history is:

https://www.facebook.com/thetgchan

Yet, it squeezes facebook.com homepage first

Same goes with everything else: http://fineartamerica.com/profiles/tgchan.html

Yet, it suggests to VISIT fineartamerica.com, which is the homepage...

It is so annoying because I had all my favourite url under different letters.

I typed "f" and I had http://fineartamerica.com/profiles/tgchan.html listed first

I typed "fa" and I had https://www.facebook.com/thetgchan listed first

but now, it suggest homepage of those sites first instead...

I will never understand, why do people change things that are already great...

(I am very positively sursprised with all of you people providing so much help in such short time, even though my issue is still not resolved)

That should not happen. If you turn off the unifiedcomplete, the URL bar should behave the same as Firefox 42. (Screen shot example attached.) Are any other urlbar preferences disabled in about:config?

I am so sorry... I must have changed the wrong option...

It is like it was before now. Thank you so much jscher2000~!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year~!
