Firefox has always been the best, but now I am having a problem and have no idea how to fix it. The Awesome Bar is not working .. before it would remember web pages guesses and displays a list of suggested pages or searches. Not anymore? I have tried everything... Updated FF, Removed Addons, even "refreshed Firefox"... It was such a useful feature to type 3 letters and be given the options... now nothing works and I must type the full domain every time. HELP :)

Type about:preferences#privacy<enter> in the address bar. At the bottom of the page, find Location Bar.

Still not working :( See in the good old days when I would type Go..... Firefox would suggest "Google.com".. Any ideas how to bring this feature back?

Thanks for your help.

HI   !
Would you try this : Type in the address bar   about:config (promise to be careful, if asked) Type and look for the preferences : browser.urlbar.autoFill browser.urlbar.autoFill.typed browser.urlbar.autocomplete.enabled browser.search.suggest.enabled and make sure that their values are set to   true
