Can anyone tell me how to disable the "popular search suggestion" feature in the Google toolbar when using Firefox 2.0?
It was easy in IE, just click on the downward arrow near the G, go to Manage > Features > Search Box Settings and take the tick out of Suggest Popular Searches and voila! However, clicking on the downward arrow in Firefox doesn't bring up a Manage option.
When trying to solve the problem I did find this on Google's site, under the heading "Toolbar for Firefox Helpcentre"......
If you'd like to disable Google Suggest in the Google Toolbar, please follow the instructions below:
1. Click the "Options" button on your Toolbar.
2. Select the "Search" tab.
3. Un-check the box next to "Show popular queries as you type."
Please note that Google Suggest is separate from the Toolbar's drop-down search history feature. For Firefox users, the Toolbar's search history can be viewed by clicking the drop-down button in the Toolbar's search box.

But I don't see an "Options" button on my toolbar apart from if I click on Tools. Then the only choices after clicking Options are General, Privacy, Content, Tabs, Downloads and Advanced. None of these are relevant.
I certainly didn't see a drop down button for the search history either. In IE yes, but in Firefox the only drop down button there is just gives you a choice of more search engines.
In fact all that advice only seems to apply to the Google toolbar in IE.
Am I missing something here?
