The moment I begin typing in Firefox's search box, a drop-down menu appears directly beneath it displaying the names of bookmarks I created whose names begin with the same search letter(s) being typed. How can I make it STOP doing this?

Try to send all the bookmarks to unsorted bookmarks they will not appear in the search menu.
