Address bar auto fill issues

I don't like the address bar to show any recommendation either from my bookmarks, history or search suggestions, i like to type the address I'm looking for manually, I have disabled it in my desktop Firefox, but I'm not able to find the option the android app to do it, the only setting I could find is the one on the attached picture, but even turning that off doesn't help, it still shows my history and bookmarks when I type in the bar, I also read somewhere the browser.urlbar.autocomplete.enabled setting in the about:config section but toggling that to off doesn't help either, any idea? BTW I'm using an LG G5 VS987 with android 8.0.0.

Hi

You can turn off search suggestions in the options menu. Select Settings, followed by Search to see two options at the bottom of the screen to toggle of searches of your bookmarks and history.

Hey there, thanks for your answer, however as I mentioned, I already disabled those options and the issue still persists, you can see my attached picture, they are already off.

Thanks for your answer.

Hi

I do not see a picture attached. Can you add this so that we can understand what you are seeing?
