I had this stupid idea after reading this to experiment with my internet habits. I'd like the address bar to only be used for URLs.

found the solution: set keyword.enabled to false

Pretty sure you can do this from normal settings too - make sure "Show search suggestions in address bar results" is unchecked:

I've always had a separate Search box alongside the address bar, but it does seem like it's getting harder and harder to enable that

It's a different setting (browser.search.suggest.enabled), but yeah i have it disabled too alongside with keyword.enabled.
