296864 - auto-complete on the address/location bar does not pick up entries from bookmark

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 278747

(Firefox :: Address Bar, defect)

Description

[nav]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0)
Build Identifier: firefox 1.0.4

i guess bookmarks in firefox is just like 'Favorites' in IE. i can put the 
frequently visited sites as bookmarks and i give it a name. for example i can 
create a bookmark for "http://beelinebus.westchestergov.com/timetables.htm" and 
call it as  'Bus timetable'. in IE, in the adress-location bar  if i start 
typing "Bus " then IE automatically shows me "Bus timetable" and if i choose 
it, it will display the  bookmarked site...But in firefox, currently the 
address bar only auto-cmpletes previously seen sites but NOT the bookmarks..Its 
really very convineint if autocomplete on location bar also brings up bookmark 
names. Im not sure if this is a bug or enhancement! i hope firefox gives me 
this feature :-)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. enter a fresh bookmark . lets give it a name 'test bookmark'
2. go to the address bar and type 'test'


Actual Results:  
firefox does not help auto-complete  'test' into  'test bookmark' ( IE does 
this)

Expected Results:  
firefox can help me auto-complete  'test' into  'test bookmark'

zug_treno:
ur right, looks like this is an OLD cry-baby left unattended.
Really not sure why the community has left this one  un-fixed for so long.

im trying to getaway from MSIE onto firefox; but im missing this autocompletion
of bookmarks badly. 80% of my daily web work is on bookmarked sites and auto
completion can help a lot. :-(
