whenever I search ff puts a little green ball next to the site and asks me to add it to search. how do I turn this off permanently?
right now, when it shows the little green ball next to the site name I add it to ff's search area in Options to make the green nag go away and then I uncheck the site so it doesn't use it. this is INCREDIBLY tedious and dumb. this is not a feature, but rather a pita. if I wanted these sites I would have already put them in the search area of Options. please PLEASE tell me there is a way to make this unfortunate ff non-feature go away. thank you.

You can't.
Is this about the green dot you see in the search bar on the Navigation Toolbar (i.e. not the location bar or a search bar in the browsing area) when the web page ofers a search engine like this forum ?
Can you attach a screenshot ?

- use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot
You can possibly use code in userChrome.css to hide the green dot attached to the magnifier icon in the search bar.
Add code to the userChrome.css file below the default @namespace line.
@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */
.searchbar-search-button[addengines="true"] > .searchbar-search-icon-overlay {
display: none !important;
}
See:

In Firefox 69 and later you need to set this pref to true on the about:config page to enable userChrome.css and userContent.css in the chrome folder.
- toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets = true

yes, that's what I'm talking about. thanks for the recommendations to fix it. I'll give them a try and report back.
