I am having an issue with the Firefox --> Options --> Privacy Tab --> Location Bar --> When using suggest (x) command sequence. Namely, that it doesn't save my options.

It seems to default to suggesting from Bookmarks, even though I continually tell it to simply suggest "nothing." During a FF session, I can tell it "nothing" and it functions correctly. But if I exit/restart, it resets to "bookmarks."

I have been through all of [[Knowledge Base Article|https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Preferences%20are%20not%20saved?s=privacy+tab&r=6&as=s]] and none of it works (or seems to apply in the first place). The only option that I have left to attempt is the final piece of that post, destroying the entire prefs file and starting from scratch. Obviously, I'd prefer to avoid that if at all possible.

I have tested it with other prefs, such as "remember my browsing history" and it saves/unsaves exactly as it should, which points to it being a Location Bar suggestion issue alone.

Any suggestions? Thank you.

Well, in the end what I had to do was an amalgamation of things. No 3rd party software, no extra prefs files, file was uncorrupted. I had to completely tear out the user.js file, restart Firefox, exit without changing anything, go into the prefs.js file and just completely remove the urlbar preference line (rather than editing it false/2/3 etc., which didn't work). Then restart Firefox again, make the change to the Location Bar in in Options-->Privacy, exit. Restart... and then it was fixed.

I'm sure this was the roundabout way to do it, but I certainly won't frown at success!

Hopefully it won't come back in the future. So, despite the fact that I still had to do a bunch of running around, I appreciate the various links, they gave me the ideas on what to do.
