How do I disable/uninstall "Quick Search" in Status Bar?

I want to disable/uninstall the "Quick Search" box that pops up in my Status Bar in Firefox 23.0.1 Right now I'm having an issue with an "erratic cursor" (Windows 8...YUCK!!!!). I start typing in the address bar in a new tab, or in Google search bar, and my cursor floats all over the screen without my knowledge. In the middle of typing my search, the cursor will somehow "trigger" the "Quick Search" box, and suddenly, my words end up being typed there. I found out that this "erratic cursor" is a documented issue with the Lenovo G585 laptop, and until I find out how to fix it, I REALLY want to stop "Quick Search" from opening unless I ask it to open.
How do I stop "Quick Search" from opening?
Thanks in advance for your help!

How do I disable the "Quick Search" feature?

I don't need or want the Quick Search function on Firefox. Simply deleting the Quick Search bookmarks folder doesn't get rid of it because it automatically reappears as soon as I restart Firefox. How do I disable this feature altogether?

Here's what worked for me.
Right click in the toolbar area to get the toolbar customization menu. That is, right click just to the right of the "Help" button on the Menu Bar.
You'll see:
Menu Bar,
Navigation Toolbar,
Bookmarks Toolbar
These three may or may not have check marks, but you want to click on the fourth item, below the line, "customize".
Left click the customize button and the "customize toolbar" window appears. Click and hold the "quick search" and drag it into the customize window and release. Quick search should settle itself into the customize toolbar window, patiently waiting if you ever decide you might want it again. : )

How do I disable the Bing search preview in Firefox?

How do I disable the Bing search preview feature? This feature is similar to the Google search page preview feature for which I have found remedy.

Thanks. I have that unchecked. I'm speaking of when you slide the cursor to the right of a search "hit", an arrow appears along with a bit more detailed text box of the corresponding hit. Seems like the google version was disabled in the [about:config] settings.

How do I disable (uninstall) Adblock Plus?

I am trying to watch a missed TV episode. I get a "message" indicating that I have to disable Adblock Plus. Directions given: In right hand corner of Firefox, click on the ABP icon, and uncheck "Enable Adblock Plus". However, there is NO such icon on Firefox' toolbar. I went to your help site; FAQ; checked out forums, etc. You would think "disable Adblock Plus" would be pretty simple, but I guess it's not.

The real and genuine [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/adblock-plus/ Adblock Plus] doesn't install itself or without explicit user consent.
You can disable this Adblock Plus by going to Tools ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Add-ons''', click '''Extensions''' on the left, look for the entry and '''Disable''' or '''Remove'''. Instead, if it's already visible on the toolbar or status bar (Addon bar), click on the icon and '''Disable everywhere'''.
To selectively disable ABP on individual webpages or whole sites:

Once it appears on the toolbar or statusbar you can easily click on the icon to disable ABP on individual pages like this (https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/781327) by clicking '''Disable on this page only''' or click '''Disable on support.mozilla.com''' to disable ABP on the whole site / subdomain.

How do I get rid of the new "status bar" at the bottom of the page where the web address pops up?

On the left hand side of the page in the bottom corner, the web address pops up every time a new page is loading. What if I don't want that? How do I disable it?

miss.bev.brown, Right-click on a toolbar, then click on teh "Add-on bar" entry to de-select it.
If the add-on bar keeps coming back, you will have an add-on that is causing this. One that does this is the McAfee Site Advisor, disabling or uninstalling it stops that from happening.

How do I add "little icons" to my status bar on iPad 2?

How do I add those "little icons" to my status bar in iPad 2?

What little icons might you be talking about? If you are asking about the thumbnail views in Safari, there is nothing that you can do to change the way that Safari works on the iPad. Safari now uses tabs.
If that's not what you are asking about, please provide some details.
EDIT - OK. I get it now .....

How can i disable the ~3 search "guesses" in the location bar, above the suggestions from my history?

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]]

How do I disable autofilling in searches?

I hate autofilling in searches and as much as I tried, I couldn't disable it so any time I start typing in Google or YouTube or any other search it autofills with my recent searches and it is really annoying sometimes... Is there anyway to do that?
Thanks

I'm not 100% positive if this is functional in the Windows beta (it is on the Mac, and will at least eventually be so in Windows), but under Edit->Preferences->Auto Fill there should be a checkbox called "Other Forms". If you uncheck it, then it Safari won't fill in forms for you. Also, you can click the "Edit..." button to the right of the checkbox and remove individual websites from the list, instead of disabling auto fill for all websites.

How can I disable synchronization of search input fields between different applications?

Hi
This feature, as I'm assuming it is, is really starting to rub me a very wrong way...
Whenever I write anything in the search field of what seems to be any application in OS X, the input I write in the search field is being copied to any other application's search field. E.g., I'm searching in iTerm for text in log outputs, then I go to Sublime Text and write a regexp in the search field. The search field there now already contains what I wrote to iTerm's search field. The regexp I start writing likewise migrates to iTerm's search input whenever I return to it, destroying my search session there. I then go to Safari to search the Perl regexp documentation to help me with the expression I'm currently assembling in Sublime's find input. When I return to Sublime, my regexp is wiped with the input I made in Safari's search input, so that I have to start over completely creating my regular expression.
It's incredibly frustrating, and I'm really hoping that this "feature" can be turned off, but I cannot figure out where, if at all?
Does any one of you know?
TIA,
Daniel

How do i disable auto-click in the bookmarks bar?

I recently went to FedEx to track a package and I save the link in the bookmarks bar. When I show all bookmarks the display for the bookmarks bar shows a column between the name and the url. The title of the column is "Auto-Click".
How did this happen and, more importantly, how do I get rid of the Auto-Click column?
This is on an iMac (intel) running OS X Lion. The Safari version is 6.0.3.
Bill aka VMS Mangler

Settings -> General -> Keyboard -> Auto-Correction -> OFF.
But this is a global setting, not just for the Mail app.
