I'm currently using Firefox v26.0 and can't turn off the autocomplete in the Google query box. I found the process once before but I've been looking for 3 days and can't seem to now, anyone..... Please!

Thanks for the reply however that may change the url autocomplete but doesn't stop it from autocompleting Search Quiries. I did just find the home page workaround that will do what I need.

If you use Google as your home page enter " https://www.google.com/webhp?complete=0 " sans quotes

Hello,

Go to about:config page, search for this option "browser.search.suggest.enabled" change its value to false

to change the value click two times on the option or right click on the option and click on invert value
