Firefox Community Forum

Why is it when I want to go to a different website, such as youtube.com or google.com, the bar will autofill because I've been to those websites multiple times. But after going to spotify.com numerous times, the autofill never shows up and I have to manually type in the whole "spotify.com" because the web search bar thinks I've never been there before. Why is that and can I fix it?

When I type 'mess', I want it to fully auto-complete to 'messages.google.com/web/conversations', not 'messages.google.com'. I want 'oura' => 'cloud.ouraring.com/dashboard', 'my' => 'myserver.localhost/whatever'.

In chrome I can delete the domain-only option from my history and it does what I want, prioritizing the most-selected URL. I've searched for dozens of minutes and ("dozens of us!") and haven't found a combination of about:settings and about:config changes that still does what I want. That is, I've found settings that worked in the past but they don't exist any more.

And why is only-the-domain the default? Who would want that?

Also, hitting down-arrow is not acceptable. I need a muscle-memory friendly solution.

Thanks!

Since yesterday, my Firefox app on both my iPad and iPhone had stopped autocompleting suggestions when I type in the search bar for sites I’ve visited before. Even things saved in bookmarks or pinned aren’t suggested any more which makes going back to some old websites a lot more tedious.

I’m trying to see if anyone has come across this issue as well, and if there’s any suggestions for how to solve this as the only suggestion I found here was to delete Firefox and download chrome, which no. Not happening.

Reloading existing tabs or entering full URLs works. Toggling "Work Offline" on and off does not fix the problem and the only workaround is restarting Firefox.

This is triggered by laptop doing sleep/wake transitions so I strongly suspect this is related to Firefox online/offline detection.

I have ZERO interest in google features recently FORCED on my by an "upgrade"

show trending search suggestions

this is both checked and non-modifiable

Why?

I do not want this. How do I disable this evil setting?

I will visit a site, say engadget. Then I can open another tab, and I expect when I type en or eng or engadge that it'll autocomplete to engadget, but it won't. For some sites, it works, for others, it doesn't. I'm a developer and am used to figuring stuff out, but no matter what settings I change it doesn't consistently work. I use Firefox on all my devices but on this one machine, it doesn't work. I've triple checked the settings. I am this close to switching browsers, it's so frustrating. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

How do I change the site addresses that come up when I click the address bar? Time was I got a list of sites that I use often, perhaps several time in a day. I still use those sites but some have been replaced by addresses that I've used once or twice and probably won't use again for months. Where's the sense behind identifying as a "favourite" something I use twice in a week but not again and throwing out something I use week in and week out. How do I get rid of these interlopers?

Somehow AP (news) has started showing up in the firefox menu bar. I'd like to delete it since I don't use it. It's not in my settings under search, nor can I just delete it by right clicking the menu bar. Can you help? Thanks, Stephanie

My google search suggestions aren't working in the firefox awesome bar. Search suggestions are turned on. Opening the console gives this error, "SearchSuggestionController found an unexpected string value: Non-200 status or empty HTTP response: 403" I've tried using troubleshoot mode, making a new profile, etc. I still can't get it to work.
