How to stop Search Box from displaying Bookmarks
The moment I begin typing in Firefox's search box, a drop-down menu appears directly beneath it displaying the names of bookmarks I created whose names begin with the same search letter(s) being typed. How can I make it STOP doing this?

You can look at the location bar settings:
- Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > Location Bar: When using the location bar, suggest: History and Bookmarks, History, Bookmarks, Nothing
- https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Location+bar+autocomplete
Note that bookmarked sites that you have visited will become history items and you need to clear that history.

Try to send all the bookmarks to unsorted bookmarks they will not appear in the search menu.
Thanks, but bookmarks I have on file still appear as I begin typing in the search box.
