760872 - Customize URL Bar Autocomplete on Android

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Mihai Todor]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:12.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/12.0
Build ID: 20120420145725

Steps to reproduce:

The Android version of Firefox Beta 14 ignores browser.urlbar.* settings from about:config. For example, I want to set the URL bar to provide autocomplete suggestions only from my bookmarks, but if I set browser.urlbar.default.behavior to 2 instead of 0 (the default value), nothing changes. Also, the special characters defined by browser.urlbar.match.* seem to be completely ignored.

Please fix this.
