Hi, I just bought a new laptop and downloaded the latest Firefox v 4.

How do you disable the predictive text function (?) ... so that I am not typing words in the search bars and then what I typed historically comes up as a suggestion?

I would rather have nothing other than just what I want to type.

thanks

For the location bar choose "Nothing":

  • Firefox (Tools) > Options > Privacy > Location Bar: When using the location bar, suggest: Nothing

For the search bar and forms on web pages see:

  • Tools > Options > Privacy > History: [ ] "Remember search and form history"
