Search suggestion cannot be disabled

I have firefox set up so that it does not suggest anything except for my bookmarks.

So when I type in the address bar the only suggestions that come up are my bookmarks, no other suggestions.

For example when I need to translate something quick and want to go to the bookmarked page for google translate as soon as I type "trans..." it will suggest the link, Which is what I want and expect and is efficient.

But as has happened before, now I get a random suggestion coming up first so I have type more just to get to the same result otherwise I end up following a link to a suggested site which is at best aggravating.

I checked my seeting and there is one box ticked in the search suggestion settings that I cannot disable. I have tried and it always comes back.

How can I fix this?

Thanks in advance.

被選擇的解決方法

You can check for problems with preferences. You can delete possible user.js and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename/remove the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in current Firefox releases.

You can use the button on the "Help -> More Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page to go to the current Firefox profile folder or use the about:profiles page (Root directory).

If you use external cleanup software like CCleaner, check the settings for Firefox.

If you have disabled the search suggestions like your screenshot shows then that choice doesn't apply. You need to enable the two settings above it temporarily to be able to untick that specific search setting.

I assume that you modified these settings as well ?

You can set what suggestions show when you enter an URL in the location/address bar bar.

  • Settings -> Privacy & Security
    Address Bar: When using the location bar, suggest:
    History
    Bookmarks
    Open tabs
    Top sites
    Shortcuts
    Search Suggestions

I appreciate you responding, however I had already tried that before posting the question. THe box just becomes re checked as soon as you refresh firefox.

So I am still left with issue.

The only suggestions coming up when I type in the address bar should be my bookmarks, that's it.

What do you mean with "as soon as you refresh firefox" ?

If you use the Firefox refresh feature then a new profile will be created and you lose settings.

Simply put, your suggestion does not work.

As soon as I try to type an address in the address bar then I get suggestions that are not from my bookmarks.

And when I go back to my settings to check, the box is checked again.

I have done this signed in to my firefox acct and signed out, it doesn't make a difference.

The checked box which I showed in the image in my original post always returns and I am getting suggestions in the address bar when I start typing other than my bookmarks.

Perhaps there is someone else that has an idea how to resolve this?

Anyone else able to help with this.

It is really annoying and the fact that I cannot set it up the way it was is very frustrating.

Any help appreciated.

Your reply to what your referring to Refresh don't make sense... I can change mine and have no issue when closing and opening Firefox. Did you change Firefox defaults using userChrome.css or other 3rd party Addon/extension.

OK so forget the word refresh, when I close firefox after making the changes it will revert back to the previous setting when I open firefox again.

So when I start typing in address bar it should only show my bookmarks but instead it also shows suggestions.

This is the problem.

No I did not make any changes to firefox defaults using userhcrome.css or other 3rd party Addon/extension.

Previously It worked as it should have.

This is not the first time this has happened either, it comes after an update to firefox. But this time I have not been able to revert it to the way I want it.

Thankyou for this!

So for some reason the profile that I was using was the problem.

When I opened the alternate profile and tweaked the settings everything worked as I wanted.

Just means I have to set everything up again, but small price to pay.

Thank you so much, have a great day!
