Summary: idea: "find in this page bar", show me options while i'm clicking → Autocomplete in the find bar based on what words appear in the page
something like dabbriv-mode in emacs, I assume.
Product: Firefox → Toolkit
I think he means the following: 1. Click Edit> Find or Ctrl-F 2. Type part of the word you want to look in the page. 3. A drop down list will appear for suggested words based on the contents of the displayed page.
I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO FIND THE AUTO COMPLETE TO DISABLE IT AS IT IS AUTOMATICALLY ENTERING THINGS WHEN I HAVE ALREADY STARTED TYPING IT SUCH AS USERNAME ETC. IT NEVER DID THAT BEFORE WITH THE OLDER VERSIONS. I NEED TO DISABLE THIS FEATURE AS IT IS VERY ANNOYING AND UNNECESSARY :(
REALLY NEED A QUICK FIX TO THIS PLEASE
