Works for me. Not sure why it doesn't for you. I have bookmarks I have not been to in several years, and they autocomplete fine by typing their name

Perhaps it's the same for FF. If you add a new entry in favorites perhaps it will show up. -- Pete Ives Remove All_stRESS before sending me an email

I looked at that value, but it was already set to "True". browser.urlbar.autocomplete.enabled - Status=default Type=boolean Value=true I went to the "home" button and started typing in an entry from my imported favorites, but I still do not get any inline autocomplete action. Thanks though. Jon

Mine is set for "When using the location bar suggest: History and Bookmarks". Try playing about with the settings there to see if any of them do what you're looking for.
