Running Firefox 34.0.5. Windows 7 64bit.

Somehow with these new changes to the search bar (which I hate) it now shows prior searches as I start typing in a new subject. Meaning I type "a" and then it shows me all my searches I made starting with the letter "A". I never had this show up before the latest update.

How do I turn this off or disable this feature? In my privacy section I have "never remember" selected. Is there something in "about:config" I need to do?

PS. The new search bar sucks. Before, I could click on the site icon and simply hit the enter key where it takes me to the site's home page (meaning I could just click the youtube icon and hit enter for a blank search where it takes me to the homepage). Now I have to do two steps to accomplish what I used to do. Just rambling

Hello bravacentauri83, you can have your "old" Search Bar again, go to about:config, copy the next bold browser.search.showOneOffButtons and paste it in the search field, now double-click on it to make it false, exit firefox and restart it.

For the searches see : How to use popular search suggestions in the Search Bar

thank you
