Why are preivous searches showing in search bar?

Running Firefox 34.0.5. Windows 7 64bit.
Somehow with these new changes to the search bar (which I hate) it now shows prior searches as I start typing in a new subject. Meaning I type "a" and then it shows me all my searches I made starting with the letter "A". I never had this show up before the latest update.
How do I turn this off or disable this feature? In my privacy section I have "never remember" selected. Is there something in "about:config" I need to do?
PS. The new search bar sucks. Before, I could click on the site icon and simply hit the enter key where it takes me to the site's home page (meaning I could just click the youtube icon and hit enter for a blank search where it takes me to the homepage). Now I have to do two steps to accomplish what I used to do. Just rambling

Hello bravacentauri83, you can have your "old" Search Bar again, go to
[http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config about:config], copy the next bold '''browser.search.showOneOffButtons''' and paste it in the search field, now
double-click on it to make it '''false''', exit firefox and restart it.
For the searches see : [https://support.mozilla.org/kb/how-use-popular-search-suggestions-in-search-bar#firefox:winxp:fx34 How to use popular search suggestions in the Search Bar]
thank you

  • Why are my search results for mail incomplete?

    Why is it that when I search for emails that I KNOW are in my inbox I cannot find them? This never used to be a problem until I upgraded to Lion. My inbox has close to 7000 emails so it is not practical to manually search through it for an email that is several months old. Why are the search results incomplete? I find this extremely frustrating.

    Had the same problem- called applecare, a mail supervisor walked me through the easy fix-
    (I am no tech so this is in simple terms)
    (Assuming you just upgraded to lion) - the "library" was not "properly rebuilt" - the emails are there but are not fully queriable which is why the "recent" or "post upgrade" emails search properly while the "older" or "pre upgrade" ones don't- the library index needs to be rebuilt (which is much easier than it sounds)
    Steps
    1- Quit Email (fully)
    2- open finder, open "Go"
        Hold the "Option" key on your keyboard - this will expand the menu to show the "Library"
    3- Select the "Library" option, (you can now release the "Option" key).
    4- Open the following folders (Mail,   V2   , Maildata)
    5- Within the Maildata folder there are (3) files which need to be deleted (Trashcan them)
         (envelopeindex, envelopeindex-shm,  envelopeindex-wal)
    6- Reopen Mail / (This will automatically reimport these files,  takes some time depending on how many emails)
    7- Quit mail and Reopen (has to reload for some reason)
    8- The mail program will do some automatic sycronizing  (You will see some the files "Reappear / fill in" while Syncronizing
    9- about 100 (blank or garage or remant emails) loaded to the top of my inbox during this process but everything else was normal-
    Everything now works great 

  • I have 2 phones on my iTunes account, why are text messages showing on the second phone when sent from the first

    I have 2 phones on my iTunes account, why are text messages showing on the second phone when sent from the first phone?

    it's meant to work like that
    so if you receive a message on your iphone you also get it on your ipad or ipod touch
    to avoid it use separate appleID for each device
    or turn off imessage on 1 or both devices in their settings
    but that will not fix the issue that 2 devices using the same appleID will never be able to facetime eachother
    the appleID is a unique handle for 1 user only

  • Why are contacts not showing up after added

    why are contacts not showing up after added. Don't show up after they added when I want to select then for a new email

    I am replying to my post with the hopes that someone can please help me!
    I am adding new episodes, but they don't show up on the main page. The most recent one to show up is from 10/29/07. I added a new episode today, but it doesn't appear on the main page (before you subscribe). Is there a limit to the # of podcasts that can appear on the main page? Has anyone else had this problem? All the relevant info is above.
    Your help is much appreciated.

  • Why are my contacts showing numbers and not names

    Why are my contacts showing numbers and not names?

    When you added your contact details in the contact app did you fill in the fields correctly.  For example in contacts where it says "first" did you enter a number instead of a name?

  • Why is the search bar blue and the text not showing up?

    This started today but I had this problem in the past prior to the last Firefox update. Whenever I click on the search bar, it highlights with a blue background and none of the text shows. So if I make a mistake, I cannot see it.
    Firefox did this the time you updated and it crashed every time I did anything. Your last update seems to have solved the chrashing, but the blue bar with NO text is back.

    I read that somewhere yesterday so I went into Constant Guard and turned it off for 15 minutes. The highlighted blue box went away. I turned it off and problem is gone.

  • Why is my search bar not working?

    I'm running Firefox 8.0 on Windows 7. Recently, my search bar (the one with Google, YouTube, Amazon, etc.) has stopped working: if I enter a search string, it does not load a results page, it just spins and says "Connecting..." forever - this happens for all search engines, not just one. However, if I hit enter in the bar with no search string entered, it does take me to the home page of the site as normal. Any suggestions?

    Everytime i click safari, it shows ( Do you want to change your search engine to yahoo?) I did click cancel or ok but nothing happened. Just block

  • Why are my iMessages showing on my brothers iPad?

    Why are all my iMessages that I send from my iPhone 4 to my boyfriends iPhone 4s showing on my brothers iPad? We do not share an apple ID! He can send a message from his iPad to my boyfriend and then it shows on both phones that I am the sender when I have not sent anything. WHAT IS HAPPENING? PLEASE HELP!!!!

    Hi Abbey
    Jon is correct, you have either signed into iCloud with the same ID on both devices or you have associated the same email address as an alias between them.  Sign out of iCloud / iTunes / Appstore on both devices then sign-in seperately and that should resolve it.  In the mean time, keep the messages as clean as possible.
    Best Regards

  • Why are Siri searches not private when private browsing in Safari?

    When private browsing is enabled in Safari, searches done with Siri still show up in the "recent searches" menu of the search box.
    Is this a bug? Or is there a way to prevent "Siri searches" from showing up in the recent searches list?
    This does not happen when I type my search, but sometimes it's quicker to search for something with Siri.

    File>New Private Window
    or
    Shift+Command+N

  • Why are photoshop icons showing up as color bars in AE6 even though the files are not missing?

  • Why are sites not showing URLs in address bar or showing incorrect URLs?

    I have just noticed that when I will open a tab and view it the URL for that tab is incorrect. It shows the URL of another site instead of the URL for the site I am viewing.
    Example: http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t254/MasakoTomoe/error-8.jpg
    As you can see on that screenshot I am viewing the failblog but the URl showing in the address bar is http://input.mozilla.com/sad when it should be that of the failblog. No matter how many times I refresh, close/reopen same site, close/reopen firefox, the problem persists.
    Now some sites aren't showing a URL at all: http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t254/MasakoTomoe/error2.jpg
    As you can see in the second screenshot the URL is missing in the address bar.
    You see, when I wanted to share a link with someone today to an image of two cute piglets it kept showing me the URL to an online game instead in the address bar. This is obviously not something that is suppose to happen.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]

  • Why Flash chart is showing only 15 bars

    Hi,
    I have created a flash chart, a 2d column chart, but it is showing only 15 columns, I have checked that query is returning more that 20 rows.
    When I created a Pie chart with the same query, it too showing 15 pieces with one extra piece 'Other' by calculating other remaining rows.
    Can anybody tell, why bar and pie chart are not showing all the rows?
    Thanks
    -Smith

    Hi Ben,
    Your tip really helped me to fix a chart problem. I have a stacked bar chart and there were more than 25 columns. Due to the limitation, the chart was showing incorrectly with wrong values. After increasing the limit, it displays correctly now.
    Thanks a lot
