I'm using Firefox and need to turn off predictive text which occurs when I am trying to enter a subject in the google search box. How?

    This is most likely a Windows 10 feature and not a Firefox setting. From the Search in the bottom left next to the Windows icon or in Settings, type "Show text suggestions" and you will see an option under 'Typing' that will let you turn off the setting "Show text suggestions as I type on the keyboard". That should take care of your issue.
