Please attach a screenshot of the results you see. Also, you can control everything from about:preferences, no need to touch raw prefs.

What you see is the expected behavior, browser.urlbar.autocomplete.enabled pref is no more used, per bug 1502392.
If you don't want to search in any case you can set keyword.enabled to false, if you want to not show the popup at all then you need a userChrome.css hack.

And to clarify further, browser.urlbar.suggest.searches only controls search suggestions, not the "search with" entry (that is pretty much just an action row showing you what happens when you press enter)

Thanks
I don't understand how it works here, but for me, it seems firefox just removed this feature as one develop doesn't like it..
Firefox is trying to remove all good features, it's sad. Use css to control Firefox is too hard for most users.

It's not matter of one developer, things are discussed in a team, and are usually removed when the cost of mantaining them overweights the benfit of having them. This code was creating dangerous complications where a user could have end up with a non-working address bar on Sync connected devices, and no way to re-enable it through preferences, that risk was too high for a non-exposed preference, so we preferred to remove it. the Firefox team is small compared to the other browsers teams, thus we must streamline the code and processes as far as possible, that also involves removing risks and footguns.
