hi rebelscreamer,
If you are not using the address bar to search, you can disable searching from the bar. The top bar of the drop-down will instead say "Visit" with whatever you type. Here's how:
(A) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button accepting the risk.
(B) In the search box in the page, type or paste keyw and pause while the list is filtered
(C) Double-click the keyword. enabled preference to switch the value from true to false
More info on about:config: Configuration Editor for Firefox
You can set this pref to false on the about:config page.
- browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.improvesearch.handoffToAwesomebar = false
You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can click the button to "Accept the Risk and Continue".
