User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030313 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030313 I'd like to see a configuration option to make the location textbox auto-complete feature search through the URL's of the user's bookmarks before it searches through the history. I think it make keyboard navigation more efficient. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: N/A Actual Results: N/A Expected Results: N/A
You mean you want it to display them above actual history ones? I'm not criticizing the idea, but I don't think many people would like it, and would rather complain about it if anything. When I use the autocomplete, I expect history to be brought up. What happens if I type in "www.r" and I have nine bookmarks that start like that? Then I'd have to wade through all of those before I got to the page I visited two minutes ago. I can see where this is going and I think everyone can agree that another pref checkbox is not in order for this, so a decision must be made here. If a neato UI implementation of this in autocomplete can be made (I can't think of anything), then this could certainly have a chance of landing.

Ever confirmed: true
I can understand the drawbacks of yet-another-config-option, so what about making a keyboard shortcut to do bookmark lookaheads/auto-complete? I envision it looking and acting like Ctrl-Shift-L, but it would go through bookmarks instead. (Is Ctrl-Shift-B being used?)
Actually I think this would be very cool. Not really a Keyboard Navigation bug specifically though.

Currently autocomplete looks through Bookmarks by default, so closing this as WFM User agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:18.0) Gecko/18.0 Firefox/18.0 SeaMonkey/2.15a1 Build identifier: 20120921003032

Not true, you must have changed the value of browser.urlbar.default.behavior - possible values are: 0 - Show everything 1 - Don't show unvisited URLs 2 - Don't show unbookmarked URLs 4 - Don't show untagged URLs 8 - Don't show if the title doesn't match 16 - Don't show if the URL doesn't match 32 - Don't show if the URL wasn't "typed" So if you are silly enough to set it to 63 then you will only autocomplete against tagged bookmarks that you have typed and visited and have the string matching both URL and title.

(In reply to neil@parkwaycc.co.uk from comment #6) > Not true, you must have changed the value of browser.urlbar.default.behavior I didn't, but it seems that those URLs was visited, I rechecked again on clean profile and new bookmarks doesn't appear in autocomplete. On other hand, is that option not enough to fulfill this request?

I'm not sure that about:config counts as a configuration option...
