Can I Change Formfill suggestion list display maximum?

I'm filling out a form on a web page repeatedly while creating database records. In one form field I enter mostly consecutive numbers and I notice that as I'm typing it will suggest the numbers that I've already entered. That's great, however, I'd like for the list to display more than six values before resorting to a scroll bar. Ideally I'd like for this number to be ten values displayed in the drop down before a scroll bar appears. Is there a way to change that?

I've also noticed that typing in URL bar the drop down displays a maximum of 6 suggested addresses before a scroll bar appears. I assume these two settings are related. In a perfect world changing the form list display wouldn't affect the URL display maximum, but having the URL bar display 10 also would be an acceptable trade-off for me. I've done a quick search through the About:config settings but didn't see anything jump out at me that might control this attribute at either the URL or the Formfill level.

Running FF 33.1 on a Win 7 machine.

For input fields on web pages there is no way to control this maximum AFAIK. For the location bar you should see the number as set via the browser.urlbar.maxRichResults pref.

If that isn't the case then check your extensions.
