the arrow in the address box is not highlighted - does not work. When I try to type in an address I am used to Firefox finishing it for me - no longer - I now have to type in each address fully. Also History is not working. I have been to the Apple store - they looked it up and couldn't figure it out.....Safari works just fine. We tried reinstalling Firefox - did not help

You can check these pres on the about:config page and make sure that they have the default value and aren't user set (bold).

  • browser.urlbar.autocomplete.enabled
  • browser.urlbar.maxRichResults

You can open the about:config page via the location bar and you can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue
