Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 440400

(Firefox :: Address Bar, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; FreeBSD amd64; en-US; rv:1.9.2.12) Gecko/20101109 Firefox/3.6.12
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; FreeBSD amd64; en-US; rv:1.9.2.12) Gecko/20101109 Firefox/3.6.12

I installed go classic addon and enabled "simplify url-bar autocomplete drop-down" option. Now when I enter anything in the location bar I get no more than 6 results displayed simultaneously. The number of results displayed should be configurable and the default should be more than 6.

Note that in older versions more results were simultaneously displayed.

I believe this behavior may be obtained via a pref instead of installing the addon.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install "go classic" addon: https://addons.mozilla.org/af/firefox/addon/13129/
2. In addon preferences enable "simplify url-bar autocomplete drop-down"
3. Focus location bar and enter domain name of a site where you visited more than 6 pages.
Actual Results:  
A scroll box is displayed with 6 results visible.

Expected Results:  
A scroll box is displayed with at least 20 results visible, and ideally the number of visible results configurable.

In about:config this pref does not make any difference ? 

browser.urlbar.maxRichResults  (default is 12) which as I vaguely recall results in the '6' your seeing, double the integer and see what you get. 

This sounds really more like an add-on issue, and the place for that is with the author.  Bugzilla is not really intended for end-user support.

My browser.urlbar.maxRichResults is set to 100.

In a new profile, without any addons installed, changing browser.urlbar.maxRichResults from default 12 to 24 does not change how many results are displayed - 6 in either case (but with titles).

The browser.urlbar.maxRichResults pref does not affect the height of the awesomebar dropdown (except with low values). So are you saying you're only getting 6 results from it (i.e. there is no scrollbar)?

The scroll bar is there and the total number of results is more than 6. Only 6 results are visible at any one time.
