Ubuntu – How to make Firefox stop suggesting if I meant to go a website when I search

firefox

I search using the URL address bar in Firefox however when I search a phrase or whatever a popup always comes up asking " Did you mean to go to example? ". It's quite annoying and was wondering if it could be turned off. I don't use the other search bar because whenever I click on it or try to use it an ugly panel comes down with the engines I can search with. Even if I turn off all other search engines it still persists.

It seems we will be able disable this new feature via about:config in Firefox 36: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1088050

For now you can add this line:

notification[value="keyword-uri-fixup"] { display: none !important; }

to the userChrome.css inside the chrome subfolder of your Firefox profile folder. If userChrome.css doesn't exist there, create it: http://kb.mozillazine.org/UserChrome-example.css

Or, alternatively, you can use the Stylish add-on and create a new user style like this:

@namespace url(http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul);
notification[value="keyword-uri-fixup"] { display: none !important; }
