This is relatively new. i have ALWAYS set my search settings so that it only shows my bookmarks and previously visited websites, and i have NEVER visited mozilla.org before now. i even install Firefox from an installer i get from a DIFFERENT PC.

So why now is Mozilla.org coming up as the FIRST result when i type the letter "M" on the keyboard?

i checked in Settings, under Search, and "Search Suggestions" are all unchecked, and the only things under "Address Bar" that are checked are "Browsing History" and "Bookmarks". And i already checked my bookmarks and deleted the newly added "Mozilla" folder (which must have been put there after an update), and History is empty, save for my few visited sites. Firefox is also set to "Never Remember History", so any NEW wesbite visits get wiped out after closing the window.

After typing "m", when mozilla.org came up in the results, i have hit Shift + Delete to remove it from the list, but as soon as i type "m" again, it's right back there!

i realize that it is self-serving for Mozilla to have themselves as a recommendation, but it clutters my view when i am looking for MY URLs; the ones that i visit regularly.

am i missing something? please tell me there is a way to turn this off...

zzzz4444, what happens if you search for mozilla.org in your bookmarks in the library? Are any results found?

I am wondering if some unnoticed default bookmark (aside from the ones you've already removed) may be responsible?

You may not have visited www.mozilla.org itself however you may have visited one of many the *.mozilla.org pages like for example addons.mozilla.org or support.mozilla.org to name a couple.

i haven't visited the Addons page since i first installed Firefox. i set that all up when i get a new computer, and it was before COVID the last time that happened. It was only recently that it started coming up, which is when i double-checked my History and Bookmarks, and deleted the Mozilla folder that was there (of which i never clicked on any Mozilla links).

Inexplicably, it stopped showing mozilla.org almost the minute i posted this question. not sure if it just takes a while to stop showing suggestions, or what. i had closed and reopened Firefox SEVERAL times in hopes that a simple restart of the program would fix it, but it never did.
