Hi, 1 is Options --> Browsing --> Search for text when you start typing

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/awesome-bar-search-firefox-bookmarks-history-tabs

That setting only appears to control searching in a page, not autocomplete of urls.

The linked article says how to turn the url autocomplete on and off, but not how to control it's behavior (current behavior = only visited this session. previous behavior = bookmarks included)

I guess it's a bug then since the article doesn't cover it.

In the link that Pkshadow gave you, you may have overlooked the section  :

"How can I control what results the address bar shows me?"

There may be a small misunderstanding caused by how the article labels the features... the articles calls both the inline predictive text and the suggestions list below it "autocomplete".

For me, the suggestions list behaves as the settings say, but the inline predictive text does not. it's the latter I wish to control

hi, we're tracking and fixing this problem in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1488879

Looks like it's already reported and fixed in beta, so I just need to wait on release. Thanks all.
