And you don't even need to go this far. Check out:

Yikes,, umm, Summary

Go into about:config and flip browser.urlbar.matchOnlyTyped to True

That will stop Firefox from auto-completing bookmarks, page title and
history, and will instead only auto-complete URL's you've previously
typed in.

You can then use old bar add-on if you want to revert the cosmetic
appearance as well (display auto-complete search results in one line
instead of 2)
