With the new Firefox install I hate the look of the website suggestions in the web browser when I start typing - how do I go back to the old look?
I had this same problem last year when Mozilla unveiled a new version - if you type "F" for example in the web browser the first suggestion is "visit Facebook". How do I get rid of that visit part - I just want it to be like I had it before where when I type F it says www.facebook.com. I know there's something in the about:config that I switch out but I forgot what it was.

You could previously use the browser.urlbar.unifiedcomplete boolean in the about:config settings, but this has been removed in the newest version of Firefox.

You can use an add-on or custom style rule to hide that informational bar (the bar shows what will happen if you press Enter at that point in time).
If you use the Classic Theme Restorer extension, there is a panel called Location Bar (3) which has a checkbox for that.
If you don't use CTR, you could use the Stylish extension and my userstyle:
Stinks that they removed the option to change it - I hate the new look. At least they have an add-on to address it, but i'm worried about it not working or crashing. It's making me reconsider whether I want to keep the latest version. Might just stick with the older version for now. Anyway thanks for the help.

Please be advised that it is strongly discouraged to use older versions of Firefox, as they may contain security threats or functionality issues.
