Thanks for the reply,
How do I make sure site settings are reset to my default block all permissions when restarting and any changes I've made are reset every time I re-open firefox?
Are you using the Enhanced Tracking Protection, Custom level, Cookie blocking setting to block all cookies by default? That shouldn't be changed by closing/reopening Firefox.
If you make exceptions during your session, checking the box in the dialog I mentioned earlier will clear the exceptions when you restart the browser.
I don't use suggestions, I have all suggestions tips etc off. All prefetch & preloading is off too.
When I type in the Address Bar I want it to work like an address bar: protocol, server.domain,directory path. I don't want it to do anything but be an address bar. If I want to search for something I open a new tab with my search box in the page.
I want my address bar to only accept valid URLs and I don't want the extra search bar in my browser menu/bar areas.
Here's how you can prevent Firefox from automatically sending text that isn't formatted like a URL to your default search engine:
(A) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button accepting the risk.
More info on about:config: Configuration Editor for Firefox. Please keep in mind that changes made through this back door aren't fully supported and aren't guaranteed to continue working in the future.
(B) In the search box in the page, type or paste keyword.enabled and pause while the list is filtered
(C) Double-click the preference to switch the value from true to false
After that change, if you submit foo in the address bar, you should get an error that the server wasn't found.
To remove the optional classic short search bar from the address bar, right-click the magnifying glass icon at the left end of it and click Remove From Toolbar. You also can use the Settings page (https://support.mozilla.org/kb/how-search-from-address-bar).
