Nightly users concerned with privacy probably want to turn this off: browser.urlbar.speculativeConnect.enabled

It is designed to improve performance by starting a connection to an autocompleted hostname from the awesomebar. e.g. type fb and Firefox makes an autocompletion to facebook.com and may start connecting to facebook.

browser.search.suggest.enabled is the general pref that controls suggestions in both the location bar AND the search bar.
browser.urlbar.suggest.searches is a sub-pref that controls the behavior only in the location bar.
Additionally, keyword.enabled is a pref that controls whether the default action from the location bar should be a search.
