How do I get rid of the list of searches when I start to enter anything?

On the primary search bar in the middle of the screen.. When I enter any letter of the alphabet a drop down box gives me a list to choose from. How do I stop that? If there is not a way I will be forced to go to explorer only. Thanks

The drop-down from the URL/Location/Address bar is suggesting items from your History and/or Bookmarks. To control what is displayed set the option at:
*''Firefox button > Options > Options'' (or ''Tools > Options''. using the Menu Bar) ''> Privacy > Location bar section'' (choosing "Nothing" will keep the drop-down from displaying)
*See --> [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Options%20window%20-%20Privacy%20panel Options window-Privacy panel]

  • Updated my iPhone 5 to ios7, in the App store after installing updates I now have a never ending list of the Apps I've updated.  How do I get rid of the list after they've been updated?  In the previous version I did not have an annoying permanent list.

    iOS 7 allows you to have your apps update automatically. Therefore, the list of what has been updated stays so that you can see what was updated, when and what the release notes say. It has been suggested that they list has a limit, much like Recents. Currently, there is no way for the user to delete the entries manually. Just try not to look at them.

    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • How do I get rid of the message "To use this machine for downloads, enter you Apple ID and password" which I now see twice since I downloaded the latest version of iTunes? Once is enough and no checkbox exists to say "do not show this message.....".

    When I start iTunes, how do I get rid of the message "To use this machine for downloads, enter you Apple ID and password" which I now see twice since I downloaded the latest version of iTunes.  Once is enough and no checkbox exists to say "do not show this message....."

  • How do I get rid of the list of web sites that I visited. I was unable to follow instructions in the help section.

    '''bold text'''When I click the little down arrow at the end of the address line, I get a long list of sites I visted. How do I get rid of them.
    I went to help, but i could not make heads or tails of what I was supposed to do. The instructions were confusing.

    Entries in the location bar drop down list with a yellow (blue on Mac) star at the right end are bookmarks.<br />
    You can remove such a bookmarked item that shows in the list if you open that url in a tab and click the yellow star in the location bar.<br />
    This will open the "Edit This Bookmark" dialog and you can click the Remove button to remove the bookmark if you want to remove such a bookmarked entry.<br />

  • How can I get rid of the sign in prompt when I use google?

    I just upgraded firefox. I am searching in google and every time I put in a search or turn a page I get a sign-in box asking for my goole password. How can I get rid of this, it is a nuisance.

    Do you use any add-ons to enhance your privacy on Google? To make sure those also are the latest versions, try updating your extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
    * Ctrl+Shift+a
    * orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    In the left column, click Extensions. Then, above the list, click the "gear" button and "Check for Updates".
    When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
    (1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
    Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
    Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
    On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
    If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
    (2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
    * right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    * Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
    Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
    Also, I believe Google requires third party cookies. This support article has the steps for making sure you are accepting website cookies: [[Websites say cookies are blocked - Unblock them]].

  • How can I get rid of the music that plays when people call me?

    I get complaints about the music that plays when people call me. They expect  a tone that indicates a ringing phone and get frustrated with the music.
    How do i change from the automatic music to a ring tone? Thanks-

    I read this OP's post better then I did that other one from this morning.
    I am not crazy about those that have ringback tones on their phones.  It is a good thing that no one I call has one any more.

  • How can i get rid of the print dialog box when using api to print an html file

    i am using the systemshell.vi provided by labview the VI is working fine but it will open a dialog box for printer selection and properties. i would like to hide that dialog box and have it print to the default printer with the default properties

    ShellExec is part of lvwutil and merely calls a function in Shell32.dll. There is nothing about the function call that controls the display of the printer dialog. I think that what shell32.dll does when it prints (just like right clicking on the file) is print the file according to what is defined about that file type in Windows Folder Options. On my Win2K system, the print application is defined as "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\msohtmed.exe" /p %1. If I remove the /p, then Word starts up and in order to print, I get a printer dialog when choosing Print from the File menu. So it seems like the printer dialog is entirely dependant on the application that does the printing. I get no dialog when I use the VI to print a .txt file. I
    nstead of using shell32, you might want to try some ActiveX method or property of an application like Internet Explorer that can open and print an html file.

  • How do I get rid of the EXS24 sample processing when I launch a project?

    Whenever I launch a Logic project, I get a "Process" window that loads my EXS24 samples. This can be somewhat lengthy. I am using Logic 8 now, but this happened in Logic 7 as well; although, I don't remember it always being in place. Did I switch on a setting to do this for better performance or something? I really do feel as though I messed with a setting that loaded each EXS sample as opposed to streaming them off of my hard drive? Is this what I did? Can I switch it off? My computer is relatively capable still (G5 dual 2.7 running tiger with 6.5 gigs of RAM), so I should be okay with the streaming, right? thanks! I can't stand the awful processing anymore

    lol no, but I am serious about this process thing. I don't remember when, but there was a time when that wouldn't happen, and it was great. Did I switch it on inadvertently?
