Turning off the web search in the address bar


You can turn off the web search in the address bar by changing a preference.

Note: This preference does not affect smart keyword searches from the Location Bar.


  1.    In the Location bar, type about:config and press EnterReturn. (The about:config "This might void your warranty!" warning page may appear. Click I'll be careful, I promise! to continue to the about:config page. )
  2.    In the FilterSearch field, type keyword.enabled.
  3.    Double-click the keyword.enabled preference to set its value to false.
