As I said in another > post: no history, no auto-complete! Different feature, I am looking for "inline auto-complete" which uses entries from the favorites/bookmarks. In reality, in IE6, they all work together, ie, both history entities and favorites/bookmarks show up during an inline autocomplete return. Jon

In the filter box, type 'autoc' (again without quotes). Is there an entry called 'browser.urlbar.autocomplete.enabled'? If so, what is the entry under 'value' (far right)? If it's 'false', right-click on it, then select 'Toggle' from the menu. This should change it to 'true'. Then click on your 'Home' button, then try typing a url in the address bar to see if it auto-completes. HTH -- Regards Nigel Stapley www.thejudge.me.uk <reply-to will bounce>

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 |
