Autocomplete in the location bar still fails to include bookmarked URLs.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make sure you have at least one bookmark
2. Start typing the url of the bookmarked site
3. Watch as autocomplete fails miserably.
Actual Results:
There are no results. It doesn't work.
Expected Results:
Autocomplete will locate bookmarked sites as well as those in browser history.
Bookmarks, by their nature, are URLs the browser user wishes to revisit. This is why they added the URL as a bookmark.
Failing to include these in the sutocomplete routine is stupidly user-unfriendly and hampers overall usability of the software.
To revisit a bookmarked URL I must manually search through menus, folders and possibly nested folders revisit the URL
The 'feature' is standard on all other Mac browsers and its absense in Firefox will alienate Mac users new to the browser.
