Ubuntu got a lot of shit for doing that with Amazon so I think they stopped doing it, and Firefox has as far as I know never done a remote search until you press enter, the suggestions in the bar are all based on local data.

Firefox absolutely does run searches after you agree into it after installation.

  At least it's opt-in though, unlike windows.

  AFAIK it doesn't on address bar but of course it does on search bar for suggestions. That's why they were keeping the two separate.

    There is a setting to enable suggestions also in the location bar (off by default, I think).

  But you do have to agree first. I find predictive search distracting, so I've never turned it on.
