Anyone tried Firefox 3 beta 5?

I have recently downloaded and installed Ubuntu version of Linux on a spare hard disc. I was surprised to see that it comes with Firefox 3 (beta 5) as the default web browser. As far as I can tell FF3 seems very good apart from one thing: when I begin to type an address into the address bar a box opens with a lot of my bookmarks. Does anyone who has been using Firefox 3 know how to stop this? It is easy enough to click on a bookmark so when I am typing an address it is because there isn't a bookmark in the first place so it is a bit pointless to display a list of them. Perhaps this is to do with it being the last beta version before the final release of version 3 or is it because I need to select something in "Options"?

I am intrigued to know how Firefox got hold of the bookmarks because Ubuntu is installed on a previously blank spare hard disc which I installed before Ubuntu as a slave and which Ubuntu formatted. I didn't think that there would be any communication between the two hard drives given that the Linux drive is formatted differently
