How can I disable awesomebar search/keyword suggestions on FF 3.6?
I am on FF 3.6. I'm trying to find a way to disable the AwesomeBar search/keyword suggestions. I have gone through tools -> options -> privacy -> location bar. I have tried setting the location bar set to show only history, bookmarks, or even none, but it still shows keyword search suggestions. How can I disable this?
I have also tried from about:config, setting maxrichresults to 0. Again, that is not what I'm looking for. I want it to show history and bookmarks, but I do not want keyword search suggestions.

You can set these prefs to false on the about:config page to disable the keyword search and the url fixup.
- keyword.enabled - see http://kb.mozillazine.org/keyword.enabled
- browser.fixup.alternate.enabled - see http://kb.mozillazine.org/About%3Aconfig_entries#Browser.
I'm pretty sure the poster doesn't want to disable the keyword search functionality. What they want is for keyword searches to work, but just not be displayed (or at least not displayed as the automatic first option) on the list of location bar suggestions when typing a new URL.
In their words, "I want it to show history and bookmarks, but I do not want keyword search suggestions."
That was how keyword search bookmarks worked in FF3.5, if I recall, and I too would like that behavior back. I haven't found any way to train the awesomebar to not show me keyword search bookmarks.
