This bug is identical to bug 200004, except the cause is not the same. The symptoms are identical.

WFM on WinXP SP1 trunk 2003081515. Reporter: please try this using the most recent nightly. Also test it using a clean, new profile. Did you install your Mozilla build on top of an old installation ? If so, please uninstall and manually delete Mozilla from Program Files, and reinstall the latest nightly. Thanks !

When you are testing this bug, make sure you close Mozilla and then open it again and try. It will remember sites that you have typed previously until you shut down and restart Mozilla. Yes. This still happens with a new profile and I always remove files when changing Moz versions.
When I was testing this, I was using www.amazon.com. For some reason Mozilla refuses to "remember" that particular address, but when I use "lame.bakerweb.biz" it does remember it.
URL: http://www.amazon.com/
OK. I think I have it figured out. Any site that has a redirect is not remembered. www.amazon.com, and www.sourceforge.net are two that aren't remembered because the server responds with a HTTP/1.1 302 Found Location: http://sourceforge.net/ or similar.

Summary: "match only previously typed sites" autocomplete pref doesn't work (type in location bar and nothing is matched) → "match only previously typed sites" autocomplete pref doesn't work when accessing site with a redirect
I just tried this with the 8/15-15 build under XP. It doesn't remember "www.amazon.com" but it DOES remember the redirect address. Is this bug about what you'd actually typed not being remembered - or are you not even seeing the redirect address in a new session?
I see nothing. It should not remember the redirect address if you have the pref set to only remember sites you have typed. That would make for another bug in addition to this one. Anyway, when I type www.amazon.com, go there, close Mozilla, reopen Mozilla and type "www.a" I get nothing - no dropdown, no autocomplete.
Nevermind. Stupid question - given the bug summary. Yes, I'm seeing this too... (Note that bookmark keywords show up as what you physically type - not as what you want them resolved to. This is quite inconsistent. Ironically, I have bug 136228 filed to fix things in that instance "the opposite way" of this bug...
When did this regress?
I believe sometime between ~8-3 and 8-10. Let me do some checking.
Can't check. FTP only goes back to 8-15.
Dupe of bug 112208? (No time right now to read all of both bugs, but the summaries give me the impression...)
It certainly looks like this is the same as that one. Jerry? If bug 112208 addresses your problem, please close this one out... (Plus, it's correct that the issue is with Global: History as opposed to Autocomplete per se. It's the history that's being cleared, or being stored in session only rather than global, for the pre-redirected URLs.)
