I'm currently using Firefox 3.6.22 & clear all history including cookies, etc. whenever I close Firefox. I can disable Google Instant by changing general.useragent.extra.firefox in about:config to Fx/3/6/22. When I tried Firefox 6, with the same history settings & config setting, Google Instant kept rearing its ugly head. Is there a setting in Firefox 6 that will allow me to disable Google Instant without having to set a preference each time I open Firefox 6?? I find Google Instant to be extremely annoying. Please help. -- Thanks, Steve W.

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/switch-google-instant/ is a pretty good addon, which seems to address your problem.

That worked ok, but it also disabled the suggested search topics. All I'm trying to do is disable all of the web page suggestions. Any other ideas??
