Don't want tab suggestions

With old firefox, my bookmarks would always be at the top of the list when I started typing into a new tab. For example, I have youtube.com/subscriptions bookmarked, and when typing youtube, my bookmark would auto complete. How do I get rid of the new suggestions? I don't want to have to arrow down once every time I am trying to go to a specific part of a website.

hi owen09, you can go back to the prior autofill behavior in the address bar like this (at least still at the moment - mozilla has a tendency to remove these preferences again once a transitional phase for a new feature has been passed): enter about:config into the firefox address bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up) & search for the preference named browser.urlbar.unifiedcomplete. double-click it and change its value to false.
