How can I disable Google Instant in Firefox 6 without saving cookies across sessions??

I'm currently using Firefox 3.6.22 & clear all history including cookies, etc. whenever I close Firefox. I can disable Google Instant by changing general.useragent.extra.firefox in about:config to Fx/3/6/22. When I tried Firefox 6, with the same history settings & config setting, Google Instant kept rearing its ugly head. Is there a setting in Firefox 6 that will allow me to disable Google Instant without having to set a preference each time I open Firefox 6?? I find Google Instant to be extremely annoying. Please help. -- Thanks, Steve W.

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/switch-google-instant/ is a pretty good addon, which seems to address your problem.

Thanks for the info. I'll give it a try when I get the chance.

That worked ok, but it also disabled the suggested search topics. All I'm trying to do is disable all of the web page suggestions. Any other ideas??
