Overview Description: When typing in a URL which is autocompleted by the browser, one must explicitly delete the autocompleted URL so that the browser will not go to it. I rarely want to go to the autocompleted URL and would prefer the default to be the URL I type in. Steps to Reproduce: 1) Type in a URL which triggers an autocomplete 2) hit Enter 3) The browser will go to the autocompleted url instead of the one typed in unless the user deletes it. Reproducibility: Happens every time for me. Build Date & Platform Bug Found: 2000052208 Linux build. Additional Builds and Platforms Tested On: none.

:: browser should only go to autocompleted URL if explicitly told to. I aggree with this. I think there should be 2 options that the user can pick for URL autocompletion: 1) Inline (like Netscape) 2) Guessed URLS appear below location box (Like IE5)

we will be using the ie and ns way, it's just not yet working correctly and very annoying). This is a dupe of 40643 I think, which is in the right component. Marking so. I know this is bad habit to mark this a dupe of an newer bug, but that bug has more info and is in the right component (XPApps). *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 40643 ***

Please see the many comments in 51910, where there is a big debate on the issue.

I just found another place where this causes problems. I'm the webmaster of LemNet (www.lemnet.com) and I wanted to see if it was mentioned anywhere. So I typed in lemnet and went to click the search button, but before I managed to, Mozilla had auto completed to be lemnet.com, which isn't what I wanted to search for.

taking, marking dependency. This is fixed by the patch in 43189.
