Firefox Autofill Problem

[Ejac]

I just reloaded my PC with windows 7 and started to reinstall programs. For some reason now after I installed firefox, it isn't working the same. When googleing something it doesn't automatically show me top searches of what I type in. I've looked through the options and tried changing a few to see if I could get it to work. Even tried googleing the answer but it's so hard to find answers without that awesome little helper!

Anyone know the fix? :/

I've noticed a few times that when trying to use Google Suggest from the searchbar in Firefox that it can take a few seconds to produce something, or at times even require I backspace to delete a word before it starts spitting out suggestions. I know this is sort of a half-assed solution, but try completely cleaning the cookies and cache, and if nothing comes of that, try creating a new firefox profile by executing it via command line with the -p argument. Might shine a little light on where the problem lies.

I know what you mean when trying to find the right search phrase, though, I often have to get it going then depend on Google Suggest to figure the rest out for me. Would be a huge pain to lose!

Well I found this while looking on how to fix the issue.

The link shows how to disable the suggested search, but it doesn't show how to enable it. Which I could probably do if the "Preferences" link was on my start up page, but alas it is not.

In the upper-right you should see Settings if you are logged into a google account(Gmail, Sites, whatever). Click on it and choose Search settings from the dropdown list. Hope this helps.
