I upgraded to FF 14 Mac and there's a feature called TypeAhead like google chrome.

accessibility.typeaheadfind.flashBar

This was all i needed for FF 13 and older browser.urlbar.maxRichResults = -1

How do I replicate FF 13? I like history for researching but I don't want it to show up in my URL bar (I use it for my Browse by Name queries as well)

You can set the Boolean pref browser.urlbar.autoFill to false on the about:config page to disable the currently enabled autofill feature.
