Bookmark Locator Bar Issues

I have written in about this before; I originally set the "Location Bar" inside the Firefox settings NOT to suggest my bookmarks, but after a while it was starting to ignore that command and it would set itself back up after restarting Firefox to suggest bookmarks when typing in a web address. This problem was solved by setting up a new profile within Firefox. After that, this problem no longer existed.

Now as of today, the problem is back. I wish there was a way to contact developers of Firefox and let them know of this issue. If there are no other solutions out there except for setting up a new profile, fine but it's starting to get annoying that I have to go through this process everytime this problem happens.

Just to clarify:

  • Can you successfully change the "When using the location bar suggest" option in the Options dialog (Privacy panel)? By that I mean, after you OK the change, when you go back into the dialog, it kept your change?
  • If Firefox is allowing the change, is it working at least for the rest of your session?
  • If you can fix it for the current session, but the change gets reverted after you exit and start Firefox up again:
    • Please see this article: How to fix preferences that won't save (Your More System Details does show you have a user.js file, which overrides your previous session settings at startup, so definitely check that out)
    • If you have utility, privacy, or security software that has a feature to lock or roll back unwanted browser settings changes (Advanced SystemCare, for example), you may need to turn off this feature in order to be able to save changes.

I noticed you have an extension named "Updated Ad Blocker for Firefox 11+". That actually is quite old now and if you want to use an ad blocker, Adblock Plus is more up-to-date so I suggest removing the old one and getting ABP.

I apologize for the delayed response; so I updated to the AdBlock Plus plugin and reset Firefox. As of now, the problem has been resolved that I was having. Hopefully now it will stay like this.

Thanks!
