436285 - URL autocomplete matches also titles, not only URL's

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 395161

(Firefox :: Address Bar, defect)

Description

[eero.vaarnas]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008051206 Firefox/3.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008051206 Firefox/3.0

It should be configurable, so that only the actual URL would be searched. It's quite counterintuitive to type the title, not the URL. Besides, I have several "two letter acronyms", that can be used instantly, but searching the title messes that up.

I have already configured
browser.urlbar.matchBehavior;2
browser.urlbar.matchOnlyTyped;true
but that doesn't help.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to e.g. http://kartta.vantaa.fi/ (note SpatialWeb in the title)
2. Go to e.g. http://www.spamcop.net/
3. Type "sp" in the location bar and press down, enter
Actual Results:  
http://kartta.vantaa.fi/ is shown

Expected Results:  
http://www.spamcop.net/ should be selected (if configured to match only URL)

I've found several discussions about this in the web, but no bug reports. This is an issue that should be addressed.
