Mozilla Firefox's address bar will give you various search suggestions, and they pop up beneath your query. If you do not find the suggestions helpful, you can turn them off.
Mozilla Firefox Options
In Mozilla Firefox, you can adjust the search suggestions on the address bar for any type of search engine that you use. This includes Google, DuckDuckGo, Bing, and any other search engines that you may have added.
Also, you can turn off the search suggestions at any time. This means that you can continue to get suggestions in private windows while blocking them in regular windows, according to The Verge.
Turn Off Search Suggestions on Your Desktop
In order to disable unwanted search suggestions in Firefox on your Windows, Linux, Mac, or Chromebook computer, you need to open Firefox on your desktop computer, according to HowtoGeek.
At the top-right corner of Mozilla Firefox, select the three horizontal lines. From the menu, choose Settings.
On the Settings page, from the sidebar to the left, choose Search. On the screen's right pane, go to the Search Suggestions section.
In this particular section, you need to disable the Show Search Suggestions option under the Address Bar Results.
As for the private windows, you can disable the search suggestions. To do so, just turn off the Show Search Suggestions in Private Windows option as well. If this option is already turned off, you don't have to do anything. Mozilla Firefox will automatically save your changes.
Once this is all done, you will no longer be bothered by the automatic suggestions while typing a sentence in the address bar of the browser. You can also disable the recommended extensions in Firefox if you want to, according to HelloTech.
