How do I remove 'search with Google' from FireFox 49.0.2's search bar?
To Whom It May Concern,
I have updated FireFox and noticed that when I begin typing in the address bar you added a 'search with Google' feature. This is interfering with my usual performance because I use the search bar to search my bookmarks. This now adds an extra step that is not wanted. How can I disable this? Thanks!

Hi !
Type in the address bar about:config
(promise to be careful)
Search for the preference named
browser.urlbar.unifiedcomplete
double-click it and set it's value to false
That should do the trick ........
thanks but Mozilla remove that entry long ago
'Gonna give it another try:
Would you take a look at this add-on and see if this might work for you:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/classicthemerestorer/
Also take a look at:
https://userstyles.org/styles/browse?search_terms=address+bar
See this User Style to be used with the Stylish extension. https://userstyles.org/styles/122394/url-bar-tweaks-remove-visit-search-scroll-bar
ty but i don't want to install any addons.
Haven't been able to find any other solution .........
Maybe, just maybe, it might help if you went to the 3-bar menu and then to
Options > Search
and uncheck every search engine that's listed there, other than your default search engine.
(just a stab in the dark, but worth a try .......)
good idea but ultimately unsuccessful :(
thanks Happy112
ARE YOU LISTENING, MOZILLA!

Hi tonightwetaco, how would you feel about creating a configuration file named userChrome.css in your currently active Firefox profile folder and putting the following style rule in it to hide that row?
/* Remove " - Visit" or " - Search with" bar in the address bar drop-down */
#PopupAutoCompleteRichResult richlistitem:first-of-type[actiontype="searchengine"],
#PopupAutoCompleteRichResult richlistitem:first-of-type[actiontype="visiturl"],
#PopupAutoCompleteRichResult richlistitem:first-of-type[actiontype="keyword"] {
display:none !important;
}
