Disable URL autocomplete in the address bar?
With Firefox, when you type a URL in the address bar, a drop-down comes up with suggestions based on browsing history.
Firefox 15 (maybe earlier) has introduced a feature that, in addition to the drop-down actually autocompletes the URL. This is undesirable. I would like to disable the autocomplete while keeping the drop-down with suggestions, as was the case with earlier versions.
Solution 1:
In the browser bar, go to the website about:config
. You may need to click a button before you see the table of available properties.
Use the Search field to find a preference called browser.urlbar.autoFill
. It will likely be set to true
. Set it to false
.
