Hi Nigel, went to Tools - Options - Privacy, and mine was also set to "History and Bookmarks" as well. I tried to the other three options (HIstory, Bookmarks, Nothing), but none of them gave me an inline auto-complete. Thanks though. Jon

If need be delete all bookmarks/favorites and them back.Worst case try it on another PC. You will se FF does do this.

Then I uninstalled FF, dumped all of the folders (app data, program files), and rebooted the computer. Started it back up and reinstalled FF. Didn't import anything, but I went to google.com and saved it as a bookmark (named as "g oogle") Closed FF, opened it back up again, typed "g " in the address bar, and still no inline autocomplete. I get the drop-down list I have always gotten, but no inline autocomplete. Thanks though. Jon

Maybe you could try that. "Old Location Bar 2.1.2 by Kakkoii" "Works with Firefox: 3.0 - 3.7a5pre" https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/7637/ I don't like using addons for that purpose, because they're a maintenance headache. Every time the Firefox version changes, the addons are checked for "compatibility", and it is up to the addon author to update them. I was using a previous addon ("OldBar") of that type, and the author discontinued support, so then I had to find a new different one, to do the same thing. And that is what the item above is. That is the only addon I use - because the Firefox developers had too much ego involved, to have a thing in about:config to make the old behavior an option. Paul

And that is what the item above is. That looked promising, so I installed it. I went through all of the available options, restarting FF each time, but could still not get inline autocomplete to work from the address (er, "location") bar in Firefox. Thanks for the suggestion, though. Jon |
