With Firefox, when you type a URL in the address bar, a drop-down comes up with suggestions based on browsing history.
Firefox 15 (maybe earlier) has introduced a feature that, in addition to the drop-down actually autocompletes the URL. This is undesirable. I would like to disable the autocomplete while keeping the drop-down with suggestions, as was the case with earlier versions.
