Hi! How do I disable search with the address bar?
When I type things in the address bar, I want it resolved as a URL and never sent to a search engine. (If I do want to search something, I prefer to use the bar on the right.)
How can I achieve this in LibreWolf?
UPDATE: solution by @hobata below works. You need to set keyword.enabled to false in about:config. Or you need to create a file ~/.librewolf/librewolf.overrides.cfg and write defaultPref("keyword.enabled", false); in it.
In Firefox the term is Omnibar, or at least used to be. I'm on Mobile where the option doesn't exist, but search settings for that.
I remember something like this as well, but I suspect it changed with the last release or two. Currently, there is no "omni" in about:config.
I thing you be good with:
keyword.enabled = false
Thanks a lot! This worked ✅
