Hi

Yes, this is coming from your keyboard application trying to be helpful. The easiest way to clear this history is:

• Open the Settings app (typically a cogwheel icon)
• Open Applications
• Find the keyboard application (the default Google one is call GBoard)
• Select Clear Data

This resets the keyboard app completely.

I hope this helps.

Thanks Seburo, unfortunately that didn't work

Hi, what do you mean by

Eg if I type 'firefox' the following comes up in a google search bar: Lens clean Dublin firefox

Is it a search history item? Those show up with a little clock face icon below the Firefox address/search bar at the top of the screen and work as a one-tap search button:

The only way I know to remove those is to clear all of your search and form history through the "Clear private data" feature. See: Clear your browsing history and other personal data on Firefox for Android.

Thanks but that doesn't work either :( I'm convinced its a Firefox issues :(

Is the example in my screenshot the same kind of thing you are seeing? Yours is a Firefox search history match?

I was showing a screenshot of Firefox and giving you a support article for a menu command in Firefox, so I think we are in agreement on this. However,

menu button > Settings > Clear private data > check the box for Search History, uncheck the others > tap Clear Data

should take care of it.
