No search suggestions from location bar
I don't see any search suggestions when i search from location bar. Tried with different search engines - google, yahoo, but not difference. And the option "Show search suggestions in location bar results" is checked. Any idea why is that?

Re: No search suggestions from location bar
No idea, because it works just fine -- it prompts for permission the first time and if said "yes", it will display search suggestions from the active search engine.
At least it works just fine with DDG (the default).

Re: No search suggestions from location bar
On a new profile i also see search suggestion, but i don't want to reinstall all of my addons on a new profile just because of that.
And even if i restart Basilisk with addons disabled i still don't see search suggestions. Is there a option in about:config that control this and can be tweaked?

Where did your existing profile come from? Did you copy it across from Firefox 56 or later? if so, then you have to start a fresh profile anyway.

No, i didn't copy the profile from Firefox. It was a newly created profile.
And, by the way, the search bar also doesn't show any search suggestions.

Re: No search suggestions from location bar
Are the search plugins you're using capable of displaying suggestions?

Yes, i am using Google search engine to search in location bar.
Re: No search suggestions from location bar
These are, i think, all settings in about:config related to search suggestions. Anything that may be causing this problem:

Something else i tried: I deleted the prefs.js file and when i started Basilisk it asked me if i want to enable search suggestions, i clicked 'Yes', but it still didn't showed search suggestion. I think this start to look as bug with Basilisk itself.

Re: No search suggestions from location bar
Is there a way to disable the search engine function in the location bar and the recent history being displayed when I type in a url in the location bar?
Really like Basilisk and look forward to its continued development!

Go to about:config, toggle keyword.enabled and browser.urlbar.suggest.historyus66mo wrote:Is there a way to disable the search engine function in the location bar and the recent history being displayed when I type in a url in the location bar?

Re: No search suggestions from location bar
For anyone who might land here looking for ways to disable some strange searches happening within the location bar / url bar, I just realized that in my case these where happening because of an Add-On called "Fastest Search".
To kill behavior, for that Add-On, go to "Instant Settings" and uncheck "Instant Url Bar".
