I have completely cleared relevant history. I am in the UK, so only use Amazon UK. Yet, even within a day of removing all trace of amazon.com, it shows up again in the list of top sites on a blank tab's address bar suggestions. (.com is not in bookmarks, shortcuts, or recent searches, which are the only other selections)
The only explanation I have for this is that amazon.co.uk is making back-end calls to amazon.com and polluting whatever mechanism is used for this list – even though the browsing history as I can see and manage it does not include any references to amazon.com whatsoever.
Please, either:
The only other detail that may play into this; the first time this appeared out of nowhere I suspect was also the point at which the Suggestions from sponsors magically appeared in settings, and was on by default. Ever since then, getting rid of amazon.com has been a Sisyphean struggle, as though unchecking the sponsors option were being ignored.

Hi folks,
Is there a way to remove website suggestions from the URL address bar dropdown? I visited a site once in the past month (orbitz.com), and now it's featured/stuck in the suggestion dropdown, replacing sites that I visit daily. The cynical side of me says these businesses paid to have their URL stuck in the dropdown, but maybe that's just cynicism. Can I remove sites like this?
Thanks!
How can you hide pick a search engine from the search bar? I don't want to remove it since it breaks the default search engine.

I want bookmarks to always be the first result. I just went through the library and it doesn't appear in history/bookmarks. thank you
The removal of search engines from the search suggestions popup makes searching much less convenient, is there a way to get them back?

Recently updated from 148 to 152 and it has added these dropdowns to both the address and search bars (see below screenshot) that require additional clicks to get past that I do not want. Ideally I would not have these (or would maybe have the search drop down appear AFTER the search field itself).
Behavior I don't want: searches to appear in address bar. Behavior I don't want: search drop down to appear in address bar at all. I require a clear delineation in my workflow for things I have actually visited (addresses) and things I am planning to visit (searches). Behavior I don't want: search drop down to appear in search bar between address bar and search bar (one tab click should take me from address bar to search bar - now it takes two tab clicks because of this drop down).
Resolutions I have tried: Going to "Settings > Search Engine Suggestions" and completely unclicking "show search suggestions". Going to "about:config" and setting the following fields to false: browser.urlbar.suggest.searches keyword.enabled browser.fixup.alternate.enabled
None of these actually remove the dropdown entirely from either the address bar or search bar.
How do I remove these drop downs aside from downgrading back to 148?

what it says on the tin. went data purging with ol reliable WinDirStat and found this absolute behemoth of a file in the profiles directory for firefox. its especially weird considering the entire Firefox directory itself is only 1.5GB with this menace taking 1.3 of it. I cant imagine that bookmarks, search history, passwords, the works takes up any more than about 300mb. so im wondering if im just stuck in the early days of data or if the file really is just that girthy.

Firefox Android address bar shows spam-like URL suggestions when Bing is the default search engine and Chinese keywords are typed.
Conditions: - Only Firefox Android + Bing reproduces. - Other search engines do not reproduce. - Other browsers do not reproduce. - Network-independent. - Fresh Firefox profile still reproduces. - Clearing data / disabling suggestions did not resolve it.
Example keyword: 河南
Observed: Spam-like URL suggestions appear, including random .xyz/.cc/.cyou domains and escaped Unicode-looking strings.
Searching in English will not be a problem

This started recently, maybe with a recent Firefox upgrade.
Normally, when you start typing in the Address Bar of a Firefox Window, a dropdown list of suggestions appears. Very helpful.
However, NOW, the dropdown list covers up the Address Bar so I can't see what I'm typing. I can still type, and what I type goes properly into the Address Bar, only I cannot see it. (See attached screensnatch.)
Do I have a switch in the wrong position, or is this a bug?
