It seems all the needed code is in:
http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/toolkit/components/autocomplete/src/nsAutoCompleteController.cpp#903

but i can't seem to figure out how to "enable" this.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Preferences->Smart Browsing->Advanced->Autocomplete best match as you type

Marking WFM.

heh.. i just double-checked that i put it in for the right product.
If you're asking a question, why not ask it in the Phoenix forums? I've never
seen a "question" bug report before...
People seam to assume everything Mozilla should work in Phoenix. Once Phoenix
gets a UI for it you can expect it to work.

doesn't phoenix have all the code it would need to have this feature?

is it possible to make a prefs.js switch to turn it on?
user_pref("browser.urlbar.autoFill", true);
see bug 177612. phoenix doesn't use mozilla's autocomplete code.. and this
doesn't seem to work.
