Windows 10: Cannot Turn Off Search Suggestions in Firefox

I have Firefox 76.0.1 running on 4 different W10 pro machines. One 1909, the rest 2004. On any of these, I cannot turn off 'Search Suggestions' by unchecking the appropriate box in Options. I think they are distracting and don't want them.

I know if I use Private Browsing they don't exist but why doesn't the switch in Options do the job it is supposed to do? Is this a bug in 76.0.1?

I think this is the first time in all the years of using Firefox that I have been disappointed.

Thank you.

Cannot Tutn Off Search Suggestions in Firefox

Research suggests that you need to temporarily uncheck "Always us private browsing mode" to access those search suggestion options.

 

IE11 Google Toolbar no auto search suggestions, no search history?

Since the last Win 10 update my Google Toolbar won't list any search suggestions as I type and there is no search history listed. The Google tool bar will allow a search, but after a few searches no search history shows and no "clear search" button is listed either.

I have turnd on "Suggest searches as you type", and "store search histroy on my computer" in the Google Toolbar options.

Any suggestions to fix this?
