The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Firefox::Address Bar' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please revert this change in case you think the bot is wrong.

Thank for your feedback, we think that placeholder text is actively helping our users, thus we don't plan to provide an option, because it could be misused. In general we try to avoid providing options that may lower the user experience of the product.
You can use a userchrome hack to hide it, probably.
for users who are interested to disable the text "Search with Google or enter address" of the address bar, here is a tutorial:
