Disable search possibility in URL bar
Hello ! I'd like to disable the possibility to search with my search engine on firefox in the URL bar and be able only to search with the search bar. I'd like to make the url bar says an error if I type something isn't an URL. I've got Firefox 67.0.2 (latest version for the moment)

Hello By_JumperX4,
Would you try this please :
Type in the address bar about:config and press Enter (promise to be careful, if asked)
Type in the search bar keyword.enabled
And set its value to false
Do the same with browser.fixup.alternate.enabled
and browser.urlbar.suggest.searches
Then close and restart Firefox.
In Options => Search, uncheck :
"Show search suggestions in address bar results" and : "Show search suggestions ahead of browsing history in address bar results"

Thank you !!! It works ! If you have any way to remove the small search icon in the URL bar when there is nothing inside it will be perfect !

I'm glad it worked - well done !
You mention a "small search icon": I assume you're talking about a magnifying glass ?
You would need to add code to the userChrome.css file :

Other possible code for userChrome.css :
#urlbar[pageproxystate="invalid"] > #identity-box > #identity-icon {
fill-opacity:0 !important;
}
