I just downloaded Firefox 19.0, and now autocomplete no longer works in my URL bar. It still pulls up my bookmarks as options, but no sites I have previously visited pop up. I've checked my history and it's set to remember history, and I'm not on private browsing mode. Any help would be great!

Chosen solution

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

  • Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

Problems with bookmarks and history not working properly can be caused by a corrupted places.sqlite database file.

You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox Profile Folder.
