Are you talking about an entry in the address box? Type a letter and STOP ! Using the arrow keys, highlight that entry and press Delete.

Every time I type an address to a site that I have visited often I get the usual suggested address completion that makes it quicker to go to that site...but instead of the address as the first listing I get For instance:

Spell out gmail...and this is what shows up "gmail.com-visit"

This visit/search in the address bar has been driving people crazy for a few years now...

Add code to the userChrome.css file below the default @namespace line.

• http://kb.mozillazine.org/userChrome.css

@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */

#PopupAutoCompleteRichResult richlistitem:first-of-type[type*="heuristic"],
#PopupAutoCompleteRichResult richlistitem:first-of-type[actiontype="searchengine"],
#PopupAutoCompleteRichResult richlistitem:first-of-type[actiontype="visiturl"],
#PopupAutoCompleteRichResult richlistitem:first-of-type[actiontype="keyword"] {
 display:none !important;
}

You can use the button on the "Help -> Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page to go to the current Firefox profile folder or use the about:profiles page.

• Help -> Troubleshooting Information -> Profile Directory:
  Windows: Show Folder; Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder
• http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox

• create the chrome folder (lowercase) in the <xxxxxxxx>.default profile folder if this folder doesn't exist
• use a plain text editor (Windows: Notepad; Mac: Textedit) to create a (new) user interface file in the chrome folder (file name is case sensitive)
• paste the code in the user interface file in the editor window
• make sure that the userChrome.css file starts with the default @namespace line
• make sure that you select "All files" and not "Text files" when you save the file via "Save file as" in the text editor as user interface.
  otherwise Windows may add a hidden .txt file extension and you end up with a not working user interface.txt file

Thanks...I think!? I'll try to figure out how to do that this afternoon, after which I hope to mark this solved!

Unfortunately I'm just not tech savvy enough to do the above...but thank you very much for the help! Due to all the glitches and problems I've been leaving Firefox slowly for a while now...I suppose it's time to just vamoose....

That;s too bad. Just follow the instructions.

Ask about the other things as there are solutions.

It is not that difficult and you can still give it a try and create userChrome.css.

The first step is to open the "Help -> Troubleshooting Information" page and find the button to access the profile folder.

• https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/use-troubleshooting-information-page-fix-firefox

You can find this button under the "Application Basics" section as "Profile Folder -> Open Folder". If you click this button then you open the profile folder in the Windows File Explorer. You need to create a folder with the name chrome in this folder (name is all lowercase). In the chrome folder you need to create a text file with the name userChrome.css (name is case sensitive). In this text file you paste the text posted below.

In Windows saving the file is usually the only time things get more complicated because Windows can silently add a .txt file extension and you end up with a file named userChrome.css.txt.nTo avoid this you need to make sure to select "All files" in the dialog to save the file in the text editor using "Save File as".

@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */

#PopupAutoCompleteRichResult richlistitem:first-of-type[type*="heuristic"],
#PopupAutoCompleteRichResult richlistitem:first-of-type[actiontype="searchengine"],
#PopupAutoCompleteRichResult richlistitem:first-of-type[actiontype="visiturl"],
#PopupAutoCompleteRichResult richlistitem:first-of-type[actiontype="keyword"] {
 display:none !important;
}

I seriously appreciate the help...I can physically build a computer but I know very little about the software

Where I get lost is "create a text file"...do I simply open word pad or office and paste the above text...and what portion of the text, do I include the hyperlink...oh, and how do I create this text file...open a new folder IN the folder....

See...this is the problem, when people give instructions they assume all of us know exactly what were doing already...if I knew I probably wouldn't be asking!!!

Yes notepad will do but Save As All Files userChrome.css is the name. So when you save as all files you can put in the save area anything you want including the .css just make sure you wipe the info that was there like .txt

Lets put it this way. : You can not hurt anything. It will just show up all wonky or not at all.

Back up your info https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/back-and-restore-information-firefox-profiles then give it a try. Can always then uninstall and reinstall https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ at the very worst and still have your backup.

So you got the info from above. Look here Here's a more comprehensive project which affects not only tabs but brings back the old "grid-style" options menu. https://github.com/axydavid/FirefoxUI/blob/master/README.md

It isn't completely possible to use the Australis design with Firefox 57, but depending on what you want, you might be able to customize the UI to look more like the old one: This project: https://github.com/wilfredwee/photon-australis lets you have the old tab bar appearance back in Firefox 57. You can remove the space around the address bar by right-clicking on the spaces, and choosing "remove from toolbar". Note the Black Theme is just a Example and can be found in Customize.

Please let us know if this solved your issue or if need further assistance.

Whew...it worked...thanks!!!!

What exactly help?
