On Android (Htc U12+), when searching using the search/address bar, it provides suggestions from my Bookmarks below the search bar as I type. I do not want this, and I cannot see an option to remove auto-complete Bookmark suggestions.

As can be seen in the screenshot, unlike on the Windows-Firefox, there is no option to remove Search suggestions with Bookmarks under Search, and neither under Privacy settings. Please help me remove Bookmark suggestions every time I search using the search bar!!

Hi Mike

I do not think that the behaviour that you are seeing can be changed at present, but this is something that we may look to change in a future update.
