Is it possible to do the same with the "automatic" feature in Google's search field under FF2.0.0.16? I find it useful to 'save' my previous/older searches--to remind myself of things, etc. They're all gone now. I type a letter, the bloody search engine starts 'helpfully' automatically narrowing my field of choices with generic suggestions. It's infuriating. If you come up with a way to get around that, please do let us know! :) cheers! Thanks for this! Is it possible to do the same with the “automatic” feature in Google’s search field under FF2.0.0.16?

I feel the same way about this. Firefox is starting to become bloated with all of its built-in "smart" or "auto" features. I really wish that Mozilla would concentrate more on security and debugging than adding these new so-called features. This is supposed to be the idea behind add-ons. If I wanted that feature in my browser I would have downloaded it. It seems that with the release of version 3, I have had to find similar "solutions" to disable these types of features that should have been an add-on. And, thank you for this post BTW. “…exactly as it should do IMO, rather than just automatically going to Google.”
