If you start typing into the awesomebar, does the history show up? (assuming you type a letter that would make the history show up)

This is a regression from 625712. Global history is no longer enabled by default.

Er, yes.  It wasn't in 3.6, and I didn't realize we'd written code during the time period when that was broken that depended on the broken behavior.  I did check the Firefox UI code to make sure it wasn't doing that, but forgot to check Fennec.  :(
