Windows 7 - Disable thumbnail + help me with google

How do I stop thumbnails from popping up as can be seen in this image in the bottom left corner:

Does anyone know how to disable this very frustrating google feature where every time you type into the google bar (using Mozilla) you are given a list of past searches or a list of words starting with whatever letter you type?

I have disabled autofill in google preferences...but it doesn't stop all these drop downs and auto suggestions:

Finally...how do you post an image here? I can't see the insert image icon here anywhere starting this new thread...that's why I post links only...

thanks

Posting an image is easy. Use the attachment icon (shaped like a paper clip) on the reply form.

Could be mistaken but I think there was an option for autocomplete in Internet Explorer's settings that also allowed it to be applied to other windows and not just IE. Try unchecking that?

Thanks....I'll try.

How about the thumbnails?

Ar la the bottom left of this picture:

welcome hello people.
try this one Thumbnail Previews - Enable or Disable
should work!

I think you're thinking of a different thumbnail issue ryo.

As for the google issues I mentioned in my OP...that's sorted.

It's weird...the Firefox icon in my task bar....when I hover my mouse pointer over it a thumbnail appears. I have just installed for the 2nd time. The first time I installed and hovered on the Firefox icon (or any icon down there in the task bar) I never had a thumbnail preview...only a text preview.

That's a Windows 7 Aero thing iirc, argh I can't remember the name... jump lists? No, not just the lists. I take it you don't want any preview thumbnails at all? Hope this tutorial helps:
Taskbar Thumbnail Previews - Enable or Disable

Actually I'm getting quite used to it now...it's not a bad feature.

But it's good to maybe know how to turn it off.

Option 3 is the one I was after.

Thanks

look like a good choice.
