Since recently, Firefox (now on 78.4.1esr on Debian stable) is showing me a top-option to enter Google when typing things in the address bar.
Needless to say, Google is not my default search engine, nor is it a frequently used page. What's worse, it often enters Google search if I press some wrong keys, instead of opening the page I enter in the address bar. about:config
does not reveal anything.
How is this possible, and how can I completely de-googlify my browser?
Is this an official policy of Firefox? Looks like a very bad choice to me.
Removing Google as one of my eight search engines "fixes" the issue. But ideally I would like to keep it around for when I need it. Is Google perhaps gaming the algorithm that determines what is shown in the most frequent pages when the context menu pops up?
