As I said in another > post: no history, no auto-complete! I am using 3.6.3 and it auto completes bookmarks I have never visited since I imported them from Netscape years ago

Upgrade to a supported version, 3.6.3 does it by default

I still do not have inline auto-complete of favorites/bookmarks in the address bar. Thanks for prompting me to upgrade my FF installation, though. Jon

I mean favorites/bookmark inline auto-complete from the address bar, known as "inline autocomplete". For instance, as I have with IE6.x, I have a favorite called, "g oogle", which has an affiliated URL of www.google.com. When I type "g" into the address field, it finishes it up as "g oogle", and hitting "RETURN" takes me to www.google.com. Likewise, I have a favorite called "gg oogle image search", with an associated URL of http://www.google.com/imghp . When I type "gg " into the address bar, it completes it as "gg oogle image search", and hitting "RETURN" takes me to http://www.google.com/imghp. Additionally, I have a favorite called "ggg oogle groups search", with an associated URL of http://groups.google.com/advanced_search . When I type "ggg " into the address bar, it completes it as "ggg oogle groups search", and hitting RETURN takes me to http://groups.google.com/advanced_search. That's what inline auto-complete is. Unfortunately, Microsoft removed it completely (not just disabled it) beginning with IE7, and AFAIK there are no other browsers which implement it.\\ It is the only reason that I am still using IE6.
