By default Firefox has AutoFill disabled for the address bar, but if you like this functionality, you can enable it by following these steps.

1. Open Firefox.

2. Go to the address bar and input about:config.

3. Click through the warning window.

4. Locate browser.urlbar.autoFill and double-click it so that the value changes to true.

5. Restart Firefox.

    Yea, it sorta works, nothing to write home about though.

    I first noticed it when I decided to try google chrome, and I gotta say that they have the feature perfected.

    When i found this for mozilla, i was exited, but soon let down at the results.

    While you get some autofill, it is in no way as functional as it’s chrome rival.

    HOpe there’s an addon or something for this somewhere
