356209 - Autocomplete should be more accessible (browser.urlbar.autoFill should default to true)

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 333722

(Firefox :: Address Bar, enhancement)

Description

[Matt]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1) Gecko/20061009 BonEcho/2.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1) Gecko/20061009 BonEcho/2.0

The default value for browser.urlbar.autoFill should be set to true or at least there should be some main UI element that is able to set the value to true. 
(Possibly in "options" under the advanced tab)

Also, if you set the value to true in about:config and then type a url into the location bar that it recognizes, for every character that is typed the highlighted portion of the url "flashes" or "blinks".

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. type "about:config" into the location bar 
2. scroll down to locate the preference "browser.urlbar.autoFill"
3. if the value is not already set to "true" then double click on that line to change the value
4. type a url in the location bar that you have already been to.

Actual Results:  
see second part of description above

Expected Results:  
the highlighted part of the url should not "blink" when typing
