291364 - Unable to disable the location bar "url" popup

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Firefox :: Address Bar, defect)

Description

[Tim Paulaskas]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050317 Firefox/1.0.2
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050317 Firefox/1.0.2

I have tried setting the following to false via the auto:config page:
browser.urlbar.showPopup
browser.urlbar.autocomplete.showPopup

However, when I simply type a letter such as "w" in the location bar I continue
to get a drop down window full of URLs that I have been to. I want to disable
this window, without effecting my history. I have the location bar autocomplete
disabled. When I am entering a URL in the location bar I do not want anything to
show or popup.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add boolean browser.urlbar.showPopup set to false
2. Add boolean browser.urlbar.autocomplete.showPopup to false
3. Enter url in location bar "www.google.com"
4. Close Firefox
5. Open firefox and type in location bar "w" 
Actual Results:  
A popup window shows with http://www.google.com

Expected Results:  
No window of url should appear
