hi folks i'd been using firefox esr up until recently and autofill for bookmarked sites was working perfectly. now i switched to firefox quantum and autofill works partially. e.g. when i type "cu" for the bookmarked "thecurrent.org/listen", only "thecurrent.org" part shows up in the address bar. what's the culprit here? tia.
you need to set only suggestions from bookmarks and history, not online from google or other. current v65 dont offer any settings > Search for. you need to enter prefs Code: about:config?filter=suggest and set true, but "browser.urlbar.suggest.searches" to false (this is google or similar) browser.search.suggest.enabled;true browser.urlbar.suggest.bookmark;true browser.urlbar.suggest.history;true browser.urlbar.suggest.openpage;false (searching open tabs) browser.urlbar.suggest.searches;false when the suggest panel opens up suggestions with a star are bookmarks, the rest is from history. (these settings above) for the classic search bar browser.urlbar.searchSuggestionsChoice:false (no suggestions from google or similar) for permanent usage create user.js in profile http://kb.mozillazine.org/User.js_file Code: user_pref("browser.search.suggest.enabled", "true"); user_pref("browser.urlbar.suggest.bookmark", "true"); user_pref("browser.urlbar.suggest.history", "true"); user_pref("browser.urlbar.suggest.openpage", "false"); user_pref("browser.urlbar.suggest.searches", "false"); user_pref("browser.urlbar.searchSuggestionsChoice", "false");
@Brummelchen thank you, brumm. but turns out it was a modified about:config string that i had to reset, "browser.urlbar.maxRichResults". i'd set it to a negative value, now it's ok.
