How do I stop my previously visited sites being shown when I type something into the search/address bar?

more options

When I type in the search/address bar, I automatically get a list of both previously visited sites and bookmarks which come up as suggestions. I can't figure out a way to turn this off. Can anyone help?

On Windows/Mac/Linux, Firefox has some checkboxes in the Privacy panel of the Options page to control whether sites from history or bookmarks are suggested below the address bar. See: Address bar autocomplete suggestions in Firefox -- the section "How can I control what results the location bar shows me?"

But on Firefox for Android, I do not see those options anywhere. Either the preferences are named differently or they simply do not exist.
