Navbar automatically filling in URLs

Unread post by Asphyxium » 2012-10-06, 13:16

Hi. I'm wondering when Palemoon will re-include support for automatically filling in URLs that you type. It's important to me.

While I believe this is a universal issue, it may be exclusive to the X64 build.

By the way...

YOU GUYS NEED TO RUN IN 64 BIT!! Don't listen to the BS that it's insignificant! It's A W E S O M E ! ! ! !

If your running a later edition Pentium 4/ Celeron equivalent or Athlon 64 or newer (duh on that one), you can do it!

EDIT: The reason they say it isn't significant is because your dealing with an already small amount of time to process data. Believe me, 64-bit processors crunch twice the data per clock cycle, and the difference is immediately noticeable when loading web pages.

Worthwhile note: If you DO buy a 64-bit version of Windows/a new computer eventually, you need to remember that programs claiming AMD64 support will also support Intel's EM64T (I believe that's the name). It's very strange, but true.

about:config on the address field.
Put autofill and set the browser.autofills to true.

megaman means:
browser.urlbar.autoFill

15.2 will have this on by default and will have a preference in the status bar options, under Firefox compatibility, to toggle this setting.
