How to stop websites from seeing what you're typing so they don't autosuggest which slows things down?

With ever letter you type it reevaluates everything you're entered thus far. So for 100 characters it could be checking 100 times. This hugely slows things down. I'd like to block the website from being able to see what I'm typing. Only when I've clicked SEARCH do I want it to do its thing. I don't even know what this is called so I can't search about:config for it. It's really bad on Facebook as well as even Ebay now.

I did notice that in about:config when I search for suggestions a lot comes up. These are my settings so far.

Hi guys. I've recently retired and lost access to the email account I used to create my Firefox account. Thought I changed all the relevant sites/accounts but it appears I missed changing my email addy in Firefox. Now, when I try to login, the 2FA sends a code to my previous (and no longer accessible to me) email addy. I can't post anything on the Community area because I can't sign in. I've searched the Support pages and can't find any solution. Is there a way to add/change my old email to my new email?

I've created a new account in order to post this note.

Thx, Mike / farragut

I want to add a secondary email to my account.

I'm informed that email address was already confirmed by another user. See attached screen shot.

OK, I think. I must have created an account with that email address, too. I'll recover the password for it.

I'm informed that I must use a primary account email. See second screen shot.

Hypothesis. I have a third Firefox/Mozilla account out there, with my secondary email address, and a primary email address from a former business domain that is no longer in use.

Hi

I have an issue where websites that I normally visit (i.e the Guardian - see example below) are now reporting a potential security issue. I know there is no security issue as can happily access sites through VPN or on other browsers.

In all cases the certificate currently associated with the website seems to be Facebook - this is the same for other 'blocked' websites. Note these sites are all blocked in China. I have just returned from China but am no longer there

Websites prove their identity via certificates. Firefox does not trust this site because it uses a certificate that is not valid for www.theguardian.com. The certificate is only valid for the following names: *.facebook.com, *.facebook.net, *.fbcdn.net, *.fbsbx.com, *.m.facebook.com, *.messenger.com, *.xx.fbcdn.net, *.xy.fbcdn.net, *.xz.fbcdn.net, facebook.com, messenger.com

Before version 119.0.1, client certificate handling promped the user without the 'remember this decision' box checked. With 119.0.1, this box is now checked by default. Where is the config setting that corrects the behavior or Firefox to default to this box being unchecked?

Another problem is that this iframe is not zoomable, and on my 50" display, the text of the iframe is unreadable.
