Bug Description

I think that it would be really good if Firefox allowed one to disable the recording of search history in the top-bar without having to disable form history as well (which is currently required). One is able to clear the search history separately from the form history so there must be a way of disabling one without affecting the other.

I would find this feature very useful because I don't want Firefox to record my search history, but I find the form history very useful.

summary: - Firefox should allow the disabling of search history alone and
- separately from form history
+ Allow the disable of search history separately from other history
summary: - Allow the disable of search history separately from other history

I initially made this request here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/1608497 But thought I should also do so upstream.
