the url drop down box doesn't open,
I have to type in the full url every time (the url doesn't autocomplete), even though I used the address before.
I have tried deleting the places.sqlite files. That does not solve the problem. I'm using version 3.6.8

Check the setting on the Settings for privacy, browsing history and do-not-track, near the bottom of that dialog, make sure that the setting "When using the location bar, suggest:" is not set to "nothing"

That fixed it. Thanks!
You're welcome
I'm having the same problem with Firefox 4beta5/6, but my preferences are ok. Any other suggestions for this?
