Details

User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0) Build Identifier: firefox 1.0.4 i guess bookmarks in firefox is just like 'Favorites' in IE. i can put the frequently visited sites as bookmarks and i give it a name. for example i can create a bookmark for "http://beelinebus.westchestergov.com/timetables.htm" and call it as 'Bus timetable'. in IE, in the adress-location bar if i start typing "Bus " then IE automatically shows me "Bus timetable" and if i choose it, it will display the bookmarked site...But in firefox, currently the address bar only auto-cmpletes previously seen sites but NOT the bookmarks..Its really very convineint if autocomplete on location bar also brings up bookmark names. Im not sure if this is a bug or enhancement! i hope firefox gives me this feature :-) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. enter a fresh bookmark . lets give it a name 'test bookmark' 2. go to the address bar and type 'test' Actual Results: firefox does not help auto-complete 'test' into 'test bookmark' ( IE does this) Expected Results: firefox can help me auto-complete 'test' into 'test bookmark'

zug_treno: ur right, looks like this is an OLD cry-baby left unattended. Really not sure why the community has left this one un-fixed for so long. im trying to getaway from MSIE onto firefox; but im missing this autocompletion of bookmarks badly. 80% of my daily web work is on bookmarked sites and auto completion can help a lot. :-( :-( :-( :-( :-(
