In the new version of Firefox, when I start typing something to the address bar, instead of showing suggestions from my history, it shows ~3 "popular search strings", as in Google search bar (for example if i type 'a', it shows aol, aol mail and amazon). I find this feature very irritating, is there a way I can disable the seach guesses, so I can browse in my history pages like before?

Thanks!

hello mreti88, this isn't a feature that is built into firefox - likely one of your installed addons is causing this: Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems
