How to Stop Firefox From Saving Bookmarks in the Address Bar
- 1). Open "Firefox," type "about:config" into the address bar and press "Enter." If a warning dialog appears, click "I'll be careful, I promise!" This brings up Firefox's configuration page -- a list of settings you can modify, with a search bar at the top to search for particular settings.
- 2). Type "places.frecency.unvisited" into the search bar. The number of settings displayed will drop sharply, until only two appear -- "places.frecency.unvisitedBookmarkBonus" and "places.frecency.bookmarkVisitBonus."
- 3). Double-click each setting and change its value to zero. Close Firefox and restart -- when it comes back up, the bookmarks will no longer appear in the address bar.
