Until a recent update all I ever had to do was go to the URL bar and type in the first few letters of the website I wanted to go to and BOOM it popped up (EG type in Ama and amazon.com would come up). Now I have to type in the whole address and it doesn't remember this so I have to do the whole address every time! What do I need to changes in the settings?

Try the following:

  1. Type about:config in the Firefox address bar
  2. Bypass the security warning
  3. Search for browser.urlbar.autoFill
  4. Double click to change the value to true
  5. Restart Firefox

More information about the options that appear on the Firefox address bar can be found in the Address bar autocomplete suggestions in Firefox document.

Hope this helps.
