When I click on the down arrow, the address already in the address box is highlighted. A list of up to 10 often visited websites would open up before. I have disabled Hardware acceleration and reinstalled Firefox 21.0.0 with no luck from either. I can go to Bookmarks/bookmarks toolbar/Most visited and see a list there, but would prefer to use the drop down arrow that I used to be able to use. Thanks

Do you want to see a list of recently used URLs? See

Address bar autocomplete suggestions in Firefox

this can come handy too:

Make sure that the browser.urlbar.autocomplete.enabled pref is set to true on the about:config page.


Type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key to open the about:config page, just like you open a website by typing the URL in the location bar.

  • If you see a warning message then you can confirm that you want to access the about:config page.
  • use the Search bar at the top of the about:config page to locate preferences more easily
  • preferences that have been modified and do not have the default value show as bold (user set)
  • preferences that are user set (bold) can be reset to the default value via the right-click context menu
  • preferences can be changed via the right-click context menu: Modify (String or Integer) or Toggle (Boolean) or by double-clicking the line with the pref
  • preferences can be created via the right-click context menu: New -> String, Integer, Boolean

The about:config setting was as it was supposed to be. I did find that remember history and downloads button was unchecked and that seems to have solved it. Thanks
