Ever since the newest Firefox update this appeared and I would like to turn it off if possible. Basically it shows up whenever I type a title/name of a website but I don't need it.

Screenshot is attached. Or here's an alternate link if that didn't upload: http://i.imgur.com/3lfJHvo.png

Thanks!

Hello FelipeMarc

  1. In the Location bar, type about:config and press Enter. The about:config "This might void your warranty!" warning page may appear.
  2. Click I'll be careful, I promise! to continue to the about:config page.
  3. copy and paste in the search field the next bold browser.urlbar.unifiedcomplete
  4. double-click on it, to make it false
  5. close the about:config tab, exit firefox and restart it.

thank you
