I really wish people would use more descriptive titles. As a suggestion, "Firefox: stop URL from auto-populating" would be a HUGE improvement.

Ahh AwesomeBar, people either love it or hate it; I'm with the former.
You can make it look like the v2 location bar (by setting browser.urlbar.richResults to false in about:config rather than using the plugin linked to above), but I don't think you can disable the bookmark searching yet.

When the URL autosearch feature is stupid and/or doesn't record/dig up repeated links, then I want to turn it off.
When the feature operates in a life-easing manner (typing in the ID number for a Flickr photo, for instance) on a regular basis, I want it back on.

Not finding urls you've been to may be a result of the history setting (Preferences->Privacy) or a v2->v3 history migration bug.
If I memorized flickr ID numbers (sounds hard, aren't they like 20 digits for user and photo?), I can type them in the AwesomeBar and get that in the list. Or you could create a QuickSearch for Flickr IDs (I don't know how the urls work, but something like http://flickr.com/photos/%s) so you can just type "flickr id" (or similar) and be taken to http://flickr.com/photos/user/id/.

No, I have a few digits of various photos to look up, and so I just type them back in.
I'm just using that as an example.
Typing in "mo" takes me to the mozillazine forums, because that's the site that I've been to every so often and don't want to bookmark it.
Countless other examples.

Some tweaks for FF3 - those are settings that go into the prefs.js file (or you can put them into a user.js file).
Stop showing bookmarks in URL bar in FF3:
user_pref("browser.urlbar.matchOnlyTyped", true);
user_pref("places.frecency.bookmarkVisitBonus", 0);
user_pref("places.frecency.unvisitedBookmarkBonus" , 0);
Allow typed entries in address bar to clear with history (FF3):
user_pref("places.frecency.typedVisitBonus", 0);
user_pref("places.frecency.unvisitedTypedBonus", 0);
