Quote:


1. Make the autocomplete menu show only typed addresses and not visited or bookmarked

    * Enter about:config in the location bar to access the advanced preferences. Accept the “This may void your warranty message”.
    * Look for browser.urlbar.matchOnlyTyped and double click it to set it to TRUE.

I find it useful, but I use my bookmarks a lot.  Many many people hate it though - I don't know why they made it the default.
