Windows 10: How to only show the "search icon" on taskbar, not including with the text "search"

The "search" in the search icon is really annoying. I want to turn only the text "search" off, not the whole search feature. How can I do that? Thanks.

Firefox Search Box Text

In previous versions of Firefox, I was able to find the option to disable the browser from showing previously entered text into a search or text box. For example, the User Name box on this forum, I type "O" and OrbitzXT pops up. Other text in other search boxes has been popping up as well. I am using Firefox 3.6, I've tried clearing histories and such and it still remembers text in the boxes. Any ideas how to disable this? I don't see any such option in Tools -> Options.
