URL inline autocomplete fails on "https:" protocol

As I type the letters h-t-t-p-s into the URL bar (a URL that only has HTTPS access), it tries to automatch them with websites I've visited. For example as I type the letter "h" it suggests matches such as "chrome" or pages ending "htm". As I type a second character ("ht") it narrows its suggestions and suggests pages ending "html"...

As I type a 3rd character ("htt" -) it suddenly suggests a full URL in-line and overwrites what I've typed to do so, so I can't actually type the letters "https". I like the inline autocomplete function, but how do I stop it changing the characters I've already entered?

This is fixed in which version? I use version 10.0 and I still have the problem.

You need to set the browser.urlbar.autoFill pref to false on the about:config page.
If bugs get fixed then it usually only applies to the Nightly builds (currently Fx 13).
