I can't deactivate auto-complete on address bar.

I am trying to deactivate auto-compelete of address bar on Firefox 4. I know it was on settings --> privacy and it still is there. However it doesn't matter if I change it to "don't remember anything". When I go back to settings or try to type something, all my bookmarks are still visible.
Why I can't change that particular setting? Others work fine though

That's exactly my problem. I do choose Nothing but when I click OK and than open settings again, it still says History and Bookmarks and keeps remembering.

How can I get back Mail Auto-Complete email addresses?

After upgrading to Mountain Lion, my Mail no longer works with the auto-complete of email address.
My Contacts.app works fine, it just seems that Mail is no longer able to 'read' from my Contacts.
I use iCloud and everything was great for years. Mail preferences is set to Auto-Complete email address from my Contacts.
Not sure how the problem started, but I launched Mail on a 2nd computer - on the same iCloud.
Shortly after I did that, my 1st Mac no longer auto-completes email. I'm unsure if that is what set off the problem.
Also, I 'did' read Tom Nelson's article which did not work since it's not an 'alias' problem:
http://macs.about.com/od/MacTroubleshootingTips/qt/What-To-Do-When-Mountain-Lion -Mail-Fails-To-Auto-Complete-Email-Addresses.htm
Also, there doesn't appear to be a com.apple.mail.plist preferences file I can even delete in Mountain Lion.
I use Dropbox, but have never it to sync Addresses, Calendar, etc.
Any help greatly appreciated!

I had the same issue. After reading this solution I started poking around in the Container folder and found that there was a symlink for AddressBook that was messed up which was causing the problem. In ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail/Data/Library/Application Support I ran:
$ cd ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail/Data/Library/Application\ Support
$ ls -lh
AddressBook -> ??/???7??ʪ?????VT???;??\G[?:??:??????T?_Ү??
CrashReporter
Mail
SyncServices -> ../../../../../Application Support/SyncServices
iCloud -> ../../../../../Application Support/iCloud
Seeing the aliases for SyncServices and iCloud, I guessed correctly that I just needed to recreate the AddressBook alias to point to the right place. So I just removed the alias for AddressBook, recreated it, restarted Mail, and it worked perfectly. (Note: I did the following to remove the alias, and recreate it. You should confirm what you are removing is an alias. You should also always make sure you have a backup.)
$ cd ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail/Data/Library/Application\ Support
$ rm AddressBook
$ ln -s ../../../../../Application\ Support/AddressBook AddressBook
Obviously, DrewSchatt's original solution to this works as well, but this way you don't have to delete the whole folder, resetting your preferences and possibly delete something else important (only recreating the alias, not deleting any files or data).

Where does Mail keep its hidden cache of auto-complete email addresses. I am plagued with an incorrect email address I can't get rid of. Have made sure it's deleted from Contacts and made sure it's deleted from "Previous Recipients" list in Mail. But it still keeps reappearing ... obviously a secret cache file hidden somewhere?

Autocomplete has nothing to do with this problem.
From the Mail menu bar, select
Window ▹ Connection Doctor
Look for a disused SMTP (outgoing mail) account in the window that opens. Double-click it. Another window will open, showing a list of all the outgoing mail accounts. The unwanted one will be selected. Click the minus-sign button to delete it, then click OK.
If there's more than one unwanted account, repeat.

Passport does not auto complete email addresses

when typing email address, the old BB used to suggest and auto complete email addresses. Now when i start typing an email address it shows a button "LOOK UP ..." then it shows the list of possible matches once i press the button. what do i need to change to make it do matches automatically without the need for the button push.
I have seen alot of people complain about this but no solution.

Auto complete and the suggestion are two separte functions.
With the contacts in my contacts app there is no issue with me doing either.
Possible you have the email address in a different contact field?

How to stop multiple auto-switching to address bar every time I open a new tab and try to type something anywhere outside of address bar?

How to stop multiple auto-switching to address bar every time I open a new tab and try to type something anywhere outside of address bar? Like something just wants me to use that embedded search when u type something not-web-address in address bar and hit enter. And the most ridiculous thing is that it happens repeatedly on like every second, like I just move down from address bar and start typing again, but then again it switches me to address bar, and 3, 4 times like that. And the result is also that I can't see the address of that page.
I think its has something to do with my AVG antivirus, because this started the same time some AVG Nation started to appear in every new tab i open (and thats also irritating me, I read about it here on support.mozilla.org and it seems that the only solution is to completely reinstall Firefox, but I dont want to lose all my settings) but when i type something in address bar and hit enter it opens the search results in Google.
Please try to help me, I like Firefox but I must switch to Chrome until I fix this problem.
Thanks in advance

First, please update to Firefox 32. 22 is no longer support nor is it secure. Then let us know if you still have this problem. [[Update Firefox to the latest version]]

DELETE ITEMS IN ADDRESS BAR IS MY QUESTION.
Thank you

I'm not sure I understand why you say "I want the excel file storing part outside the case structure".
From the rest of your description, it sounds like you want to write to file only if something is true. That means that you put the write to file function inside the TRUE case.
You can pass the file refnum into the case and back out again, if you need to. Pass it straight thru in the FALSE case, and thru the WRITE FILE function in the TRUE case.

How can I delete auto-complete entries in Mail on iPhone?

I've done some searching and I think the answer to my question, at least for now, is "you can't!". But I'm still open to suggestions. iOS 5.0.1, if it matters (I need to update my signature).
I was just telling my wife (who is having this issue on her iPhone 4s - with MY work address) that with Apple devices it's either very easy or you can't do it. I'm afraid this falls into the latter category. I have just filled out the feedback form.

No. Auto-complete is completely automatic and uses any entry you have made previously in that column.
You can turn it on or off, but the only editing that, to my knowledge, can be done is to:
delete any items entered in the column in error.
select and copy the 'good' items (and the empty cells in the range).
select one or more cells in the column, then go Table (menu) > Delete Column
press option-left arrow to insert a new column in place of the one deleted.
click on the cell where the first item in the list was copied from.
paste
enter the missing items, then continue from the last entered value.
(The auto-completion list will now contain only those values you pasted, plus new values you have since entered in the column.)

Delete only 1 Auto-Complete email address for everyone's email accounts - perhaps via Exchange 2010 or Group Policy?

Hello
I have an exchange 2010 server and clients use outlook 2007 or 2010 for emails.
I recently deleted an account with the Exchange 2010 server and created another with the same name but a different address.
Now people can't send mail to this new email address because it's cached on their outlook profiles... but it does work after they cleared the cache and send their requests then.
Is there a way that I can clear this one email address from everyone's cached auto-complete list on exhcange or via Group Policy so that it works for all of them? I don't want to clear all of their auto-complete lists.
Thanks,

As far as I know, there isn't any way to clear only one auto-complete cache from Exchange side or Group policy.
Thanks,
Evan

How do I find "Tools" so I can disable the auto complete function?

I was told that to disable to auto complete function, I had to click on Tools. I can't find "Tools". How do I get there?

Press F10 or tap the Alt key to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily if the Menu Bar is hidden.
Use "Firefox > Options" instead of "Tools > Options" if the menu bar is hidden.
*Tools > Options > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history" : "Remember search and form history"

Why is the email address in the To: box red when auto-completed from Address Book?

Linux TB31.0
Not aware of this problem in prior issues!
Problem occurs when starting to type receipient in "To" box.
Have "Home Address Book" no "Personal Address Book" no "Collected Addresses".
Should I export and rename "Home Address Book" then import it back in as "Personal Address Book" to be properly recognized by the auto-completion "To" entry?

Have tried to eliminate possibility of corrupt *.mab files by exporting personal address book to another folder as *.ldif, then closed TB, then deleted all *.mab files in profile directory, then restarted TB, then imported the *.ldif into TB as my personal address book.
TB recognises addresses but auto complete still insists on marking "To" text to red.
Thanks for responding anyways.
Partial Fix!!
The following workaround provides a way to ignore addressbook match:- Go to Edit/Preferences/Advanced/General/Config_Edit Search for 'mail.autoComplete.highlightNonMatches' set it to 'false' This worked for me on Xubuntu.

How can I stop multiple switching to address bar when navigating to pages?

Recently, whenever I go to a new page, Firefox will place my cursor focus in the address bar - if I try to click away it puts the focus right back into the address bar. If I wait for the page to load completely, I can click away without the focus returning. I have an add-on that places the focus in the address bar when I open a new tab, but it's never done it whenever a page loads.
It's driving me crazy, because normally when I go to a page I scroll using the arrow keys... which I can't do when my cursor is in the address box. I just updated to Firefox 34.0, which didn't fix the problem. I can't find an option to change this in the preferences window, and I can't identify anything that changed to make it do this...

A possible culprit is the Custom New Tab extension.

After resetting firefox, I can no longer search from the address bar

Like the title says I can't search from the address bar "awesome bar" anymore. I just get a 404 error when I try. Searching just lists tons of people getting the "just update keyword.url" answer that's no longer valid. And hasn't been for several years.
I got a browser hijack somewhere. Not sure where, and nothing was installed on my computer so I reset firefox and lost all my search engines. IE was fixed with an uninstall/reinstall. Chrome hates my face and no longer runs. (And google's help is... well if I wanted to be insulted...) I've reinstalled several times. No dice. I've now reset firefox three times. It's just not working. I've ran several virus scanners, ran several malware programs, and even asked my IT department. (They don't care cause IE works and their stupid "virus scan" was clean. I mean it took 30 seconds. What the hell did it actually scan?)
Surely there's a keyword or something that I'm missing that needs to be reset so I can get my address bar searching again.

Current Firefox versions use the default search engine that is set in the search bar as well for searching via the location bar and on the about:home page.
You can use the SearchReset extension to reset some preferences to the default values.

Why in address bar in not the url but "go to the web site"? How can I see url in the address bar?

Why in the address bar is not URL but "go to the web site"? How can I see the URL in the address bar?

those are some addons that other users have reported to cause the same problem in the past: Gom player, Ask Toolbar, DivX (Plus) Web Player, RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin...
in case you have one of them present, try to disable/remove it - otherwise you could disable all your extensions & reenable them one by one (a restart of the browser might be necessary after each step) until you find the culprit.

I can't deactivate auto-complete on address bar.
