If you've upgraded to Firefox 14 you may have noticed that the Awesomebar (URL bar) autofills the URL you're typing with a domain and not necessarily the first URL suggestion. 

To disable it, go to `[about:config](about:config)` (as always) and filter for: 
    
    
    browser.urlbar.autoFill

Set it to **`False`** and you'll have your regular Firefox Awesome bar behavior.
