Recently they also changed the urlbar to do a search when you type anything... even localhost. INFURIATING. To stay polite.
Messed with about:config but did not find a way to disable that crap.
So Chrome and FF are in the same boat: "UX" "designer" taking non-sensical decisions for the whimsical greater good.
- Semaphor 5y agoI do not have this change.
- berkes 5y agoMe neither. And this is the first time I've heard about it; such changes often raise a lot more havoc on the social media outlets. I presume grandparent has either hit a bug, has some unusual/untested about:config combination, or, most likely, an addon that broken.
- pitay 5y agoI do not have this issue, but I have a very customized about settings. Here is the relevant about:config settings I have these changed for the URL bar: browser.urlbar.suggest.searches false browser.urlbar.searchSuggestionsChoice false browser.urlbar.showSearchSuggestionsFirst false Also for your urlbar you want to change it so it always shows the scheme and every part of the URL. browser.urlbar.trimURLs false Stop Firefox trying to help with incomplete urls and loading the wrong site: browser.fixup.alternate.enabled false Setting the above about:config entries should stop URLS you type being sent to a search engine and also stop some other surprises in the URL bar.
