Firefox Inline Autocomplete

Stumble It!

Memo to myself:

To turn on inline autocomplete in the Firefox web browser…

  1. Enter about:config in the URL field
  2. Right-click on the page and create a new Boolean value
  3. Enter browser.urlbar.autoFill as the preference name (note, case-sensitive: ‘F’, not ‘f’)
  4. Set the value to true

There. Maybe next time I won’t have to Google for it again.

Stumble It!

    For those who changed urlbar.autoFill to true but still don’t see anything: make sure that urlbar.maxRichResults is not set to 0. (The default is 12, which you get by right-clicking on the setting and choosing ‘reset’).
