I found 'chromeasia.com' autocompleting in the Firefox address bar upon typing 'ch'. I searched History for this and there was no sign of it. I cleared all history data, rebooted, ran a disk cleanup and find that 'chromeasia.com' stil autocompletes upon typing 'ch' in the address bar.

Any suggestions or advice on how to clear this would be warmly appreciated. Thanks. Stephen

Why do I have search results of pages inside my adress bar, that I almost never use?

This goes mainly for Reddit.com and Tagesschau.de, as im from germany this seems really strange?

The site mentioned is newssite (Tagesschau.de) controverial at best and I never use it. I have no idea why its there, in 1 year I probably got redirected to there without knowing twice.

So it cant be the most used sites iam on, especially if there is reddit too. I dont have an account and do not use the site. Since when does firefox has Ads in their adress bar?

What is this and how do I get rid of it? I doubt that it is one of the most used sites in germany, it cant be for alot of simple reasons. Age of the userbase does not fit with the Internet User group. 50% of the country does not like them (tagesschau page). Germany is in the IT Darkages except the tech savvy youth and generation 1980 to this day. This newsgroup is targeted towards an older generation and is still heavily invested in TV not the Internet. As it is statemedia its also highly out of touch with the current more internet focused generations, so I doubt that its because they generate traffic or anything else.

Is there a way do blank all search results on default? And I would really like to know how this page got there.

Hi there,

Is it possible to add Dictionary.com to the Search bar so words entered there are searched at that site?

Previous versions of FF allowed me to map that site to that field.

Right now it's doing a google search for words.
