Some time ago, a firefox update added a feature that inserted an annoying "visit x website" option in the address bar when starting to type an address. I got rid of it by following the instructions: 

   Type about:config in the address bar
   Click the I'll be careful button
   Locate the browser.urlbar.unifiedcomplete boolean
   Change the value to false

But now something similar has come back with the latest update - where instead of bringing up matching sites from my history, it either brings up the top match as "visit", or gives a pared down version of the URL (e.g. if I used to start typing bbc... it would take me straight my most visited bbc site, www.bbc.co.uk/news , but now it just takes me to www.bbc.co.uk), or makes it into a search item.

Is there an easy way to switch this off? I've checked the browser.urlbar.unifiedcomplete boolean option and it's still set to false.

Thanks!

Yeah, they totally broke the address bar with the latest update, and seem unwilling to recognize that it is broken because they took so much time and effort to break it.

The unifiedcomplete option no longer works as you noted. There are addons you can install to bring it back to the old functionality, but if you don't want to do that, you can follow option 3 (edit userchrome.css) here: http://www.ghacks.net/2015/12/21/how-to-remove-visit-in-firefoxs-address-bar/

It's not perfect, but it's a patch until the devs realize that people that actually know how to use teh intrawebs hate the new "awesome bar".

Thanks! I think calling anything "the awesome X" is setting yourself up for failure, but definite fail on this one. Anyway, thanks for the fix!
