So, I go to the Location bar and start typing: wik The problem is that Wikipedia pages actually start with en.wikipedia.org so "wik" doesn't work. Please make autocomplete more general so that it ignores more parts of hostnames. Note: If this is fixed in Fx 3.0 with its new autocomplete system, I apologize for filing this bug needlessly. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Type this in the Location bar: wik Actual Results: Page names starting with "en.wikipedia.org" are not shown Expected Results: Page names starting with "en.wikipedia.org" should be shown
