Autocomplete suggestion mouseover problem

Lately, Firefox has been auto completing whatever my mouse is currently over. It's hard to explain so I made a short video of the problem. In this video I am hitting the delete key, trying to delete "Erlanger" but since my mouse is hovering over a huge banner that pops up, it won't let delete it until I move the mouse somewhere else. It's really annoying on a laptop with a touchpad. When you click the search box, your natural reaction is to leave the mouse and use the keyboard, but because of this, you have to click the search box then move the mouse really far away or it won't let you delete or type anything because the mouse is autocompleting to whatever it's hovering over. It's incredibly annoying. There has to be a way to turn off that gigantic banner that pops up and causes this.

Seems to be a google problem because it happens in Chrome too. Feel free to delete this question.
