I've disabled all the options for Firefox Suggest but it still insists on showing me my open tabs. Any way to disable this feature entirely?

Firefox for Android.

Just checked on my Firefox on Android in settings/Homepage and when I unchecked everything there the tabs did not contain any links.

Though if advertising is the primary concern, then you only need to unselect "sponsored shortcuts" and "sponsored stories". Personally I find the others suggestions (of course not sponsored) useful, as those are pages I recently visited or bookmarked. There might be some pinned shortcuts, you can hold click and remove them.

Thanks for checking, I'm talking about the "Firefox Suggest" results when you use the address bar though, not the homepage :)

I might be misunderstanding, but check 'general' -> 'search'

There's a couple options that let's you deactivate the auto complete/suggestions in the address bar.

I can toggle search engine suggestions and Firefox suggestions separately and also auto complete

Not possible to do officially according to Mozilla. I haven't found a setting yet on nightly to completely disable suggest, only to toggle the US specific features
