Can the suggestion menus in the search field and address bar be changed in about:config
When I write parts of a name of a bookmark in the address bar, the correct site is suggested. However, the blue selection is initially put on another suggestion ""what ever I wrote" - Search with google". I wan't this option to never appear. What is the relevant setting in about:config for this?
When I write something in the search bar, the suggestions appear, and occasionally I need the last. However, when I press arrow up, there is an annoying step through "Change search settings" and sometimes "Add "whatever site I'm visiting"". I want these two suggestions to never appear. What is the relevant setting in about:config for this?

You can use these steps to remove saved (form) data from a drop-down list:
- click the (empty) input field on the web page to open the drop-down list
- highlight an entry in the drop-down list with the mouse or cursor Down key
do not click the mouse or press the Enter key - press the Delete key (on Mac: Shift+Delete) to delete the highlighted entry
Note that you can't remove a bookmarked link with as star permanently from the drop-down list without removing this bookmark.

In the search bar i can only remove the suggestions with delete. When highlighting the annoying fixed choices, pressing delete deletes the search input i wrote?! In the address bar nothing happens?
You can't remove suggestions as these are supplied by the search engine website based on what you type in the search bar. You need to disable search suggestions in "Options/Preferences > Search" (about:preferences#search) if you do not want to see them.
