Search issues in URL bar with today's Nightly update

[psaulm119]

Ever since restarting FF tonight, to install the most recent Nightly (16 Apr), I've gotten strange behavior that I thought I had eliminated.

When I type in a url in the urlbar, the first suggestion is to simply go to the simple URL. Also, at the bottom of the search suggestions are icons for the search engines I have installed.

Now I thought that making the browser.urlbar.unifiedcomplete entry in about:config would get rid of that. I checked it, and it is false, but I'm still seeing those two items.

Is this just a bug in the latest Nightly, or did this feature get renamed to something else?

Maybe the preference no longer works, but hasn't been removed.

I don't see browser.urlbar.unifiedcomplete in about:config using today's build.

Toggling

Code: Select all

browser.urlbar.autocomplete.enabled

might work.

I just upgraded a few minutes ago to today's build (17 Apr) and in my profile (one set up for Nightly) it is there. I did check.

Isn't autocomplete for expanding what you have already typed into the URL bar, based on recency? I did try it, and it did "work," but only be eliminating everything from the URL bar---including autocomplete, and any search suggestions, both of which I'd like to keep.

Maybe the preference no longer works, but hasn't been removed.

Support for browser.urlbar.unifiedcomplete has been removed in Firefox 49+.
