How to completely disable heuristic item in unified autocomplete?
The latest developer builds of Firefox have removed the ability to disable unified autocomplete. I used to disable unified autocomplete in order to get rid of the top element ("search on google", etc), but this is no longer possible.
The styling workaround in https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1100367 is not appropriate, because using the arrow keys to navigate down the URL bar still selects the heuristic result. I need to *completely* disable the heuristic result, so that it is 100% completely inaccessible.
None of the about:config flags under browser.urlbar in 49.0a2 (2016-06-18) are capable of disabling the heuristic result without entirely disabling autocomplete/suggestions, which is not the desired behavior. I need a functioning autocomplete dropdown that contains no heuristic result, neither visually nor in keyboard navigation.

There was a funky three-way conflict between the specific version of aurora I was running, an addon I use, and the custom CSS. Updating aurora again fixed the problem.

See:
- [/questions/1125487]: Remove "... - Visit" and "Search with ..." entries in location bar
The chosen solution in that question does not prevent the entry from being selected with the keyboard. If I type in part of a URL I have to press down twice in order to reach the first actual result.
I need to completely disable the heuristic item, not just hide it.
Hmm, display:none works for me in Portable Developer Edition 49.0a2. When I press the down arrow from the URL bar, Firefox selects the first visible item, but I only tested with a couple of strings. I used this in Stylish:
@namespace url(http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul); /* Firefox 49 "Visit..." or "Search..." bar in the drop-down */ #PopupAutoCompleteRichResult richlistitem[actiontype="searchengine"], #PopupAutoCompleteRichResult richlistitem[actiontype="visiturl"] { display:none !important; } /* Increase height to avoid scroll bar - Firefox 49 inline URL style */ #PopupAutoCompleteRichResult .autocomplete-richlistbox { height: auto !important; max-height: calc(30px * (12 - 1)) !important; }
Note: This also hides search suggestions if they are turned on.
Note: I suggest launching a new window to test style rule mods for the URL bar and Search bar because some of them seem not to have any effect in existing windows.
Edit: Corrected an error with the wiki markup in the @namespace line.
