The search box drop down
Is there an about:config setting where I can get rid of this?

Re: The search box drop down
That's not a search suggestion - those are clearly marked with "suggestions". It is a previous search you have performed.
To disable that, you have to disable "Search and form history" in the privacy preferences.
Of note, this will also disable form history on websites. There's currently no option to separate the two kinds.

Someone else brought this up a couple of months ago, at least sounds like the same issue.
Based on that post, try setting browser.search.showOneOffButtons to false

I already have that turned off. In fact I never even used it in all the years I used Firefox.

Looks like I need to create this Boolean? Because it doesn't exist.
Re: The search box drop down
The pref should already exist.

Re: The search box drop down
It exists. I must have copied it wrong. Setting it to false works.
