275776 - Autofill not included with installation of Firefox

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 186136

(Firefox :: Address Bar, defect)

Description

[Dan Nissenbaum]

I downloaded and installed Firefox today onto my XP SP2 system.  Autofill was
not enabled; only the Autocomplete drop-down list appeared.  The option does not
appear in the Firefox Options dialog.

I am a developer so I discovered that the "browser.urlbar.autoFill" preference
was not listed in prefs.js or any other file; nor did it appear in the
about:config listing.  I added it by hand to user.js.

I suspect most people will not figure out they need to do this, and I suspect
some people will immediately go back to Internet Explorer when they realize that
Firefox does not have Autofill.

That is why I have listed this as a Major bug.

Best regards,
Dan Nissenbaum
