Unable to completely disable auto-fill suggestions in search bar.

Entering a simple "e" in the search/adress bar still suggests ebay.com, "r" suggests rambler.ru and so on, this is highly annoying seeing as I only want it to suggest things out of my history, not suggest new items.
Tried;
Clearing all data
browser.urlbar.autoFill false
browser.formfill.enable false
signon.autofillForms false
Firefox latest (non beta), Android 4.2.2, HTC One X.
At loss what to do at this point, if I can't get it fixed I'm switching firefox for chrome in a heartbeat because I keep losing so much time typing in extra information or deleting auto-fills information.

To clarify: I've never visited or searched for either ebay or rambler.ru (Don't even speak Russian for that matter), while I suspect I've overlooked something obvious (Maybe it's google search? But surely I would be able to disable that auto-suggestion/filling somewhere?)

Disable auto copy on find/search bar (Ctrl+F)

Every time I press Ctrl+F to find something on a webpage, it automatically copies the previous search I made that is left typed in the find bar. E.g. I press Ctrl+F, the find bar shows up and already has the word "web" typed in the find bar from a previous search. If I press Ctrl+V on a different page now, "web" shows up instead of whatever I had originally copied before even attempting to search something.
How do I prevent this from happening? Would appreciate any help, thanks in advance.

This seems to be an unintended side effect of adding increased support for Command+e.
I'm not sure whether it affects all Mac users or is related to a particular configuration, and I haven't seen a solution yet.

Recent update disabled auto fill search in Safari

Hi there,
I use a MacBook Pro, running OSX 10.6.7, and I use Safari 5.0.5 as my primary browser. The search bar to the right of the address bar is set for Google and has always worked pretty much the same way as actually going to Google. I start typing something, it auto-fills with top suggestions. Earlier this week I ran a software update and now the Google search bar no longer auto fills suggestions, it only brings up history. No, I don't recall what was updated. The system update icon bounced around, I was busy so I just clicked "yes" and let it do its thing. I honestly didn't realize how often I used that feature until it was missing. Is there any way I can recover it?
Thanks!

I figured it out.

Is it possible to disable auto fill in address field?

I need to disable the auto fill function in the address field. Is this possible?

Hi Joe
There's no way to disable the URL. Trashing the History (User Account>Library>Safari folder) and Metadata files (User Account>Library>Cache>Metadata and Safari folders) minimizes the prompts. Purging all Bookmarks helps too. However, the actual function of the prompts is built into the application's software, so it simply starts to rebuild the prompts again.
If you don't want to see prompts, simply press the space-bar once before entering a URL. That's the only work-around. If you don't want Safari to record your browsing activity, select "Private Browsing" in the Safari Menu each time you open Safari.

Firefox fills in forms at a certain website (disabled auto-fill)

After I had some problems with it (+ security issue) I decided to delete all passwords from my firefox.
When I had done this most of the annoying auto-fill-in stuff was solved, however at one website (which I visit quite regularly) it seems to keep filling in one particular username and a password wherever there's a field for either one. Even if it's just a normal field with a title it'll fill in that username.
How can I get rid of this?

Use these steps to remove saved (form) data from a drop-down list:
#click the (empty) input field on the web page to open the drop-down list
#highlight an entry in the drop-down list
#press the Delete key (on Mac: Shift+Delete) to remove it.

Middle click on search suggestions in Search Bar does not switch to new tab

I use profile option "When I open a link in a new tab, switch to it immediately" = yes (check marked)
Middle clicking on a search suggestion in the Search Bar does open a new tab but Firefox does not switch to it.
This feature used to work for many years until very recently.
Anybody have any ideas?

Did the problem start with the new search bar design in Firefox 34?
If you want to switch back to using the old bar, it's still hidden inside. Here's how you would do it:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box that appears above the list, type or paste '''search''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the '''browser.search.showOneOffButtons''' preference to switch it from true to false
This doesn't affect the current window, but each new window you open (Ctrl+n) will have the old Search bar.
I'm not sure when that will be phased out...

How to disable auto fill screen in photo viewer

Dear all,
In photo viewer on the Iphone 6 using IOS 8 the photo is always resized to fill the screen.
This means that all imported photos from camera with 2:3 dimensions are cut off, so that with each photo you manually must pinch out to see the whole photo.
Can anyone think of a solution?
I really hope Apple makes a switch in settings, so I can choose myself to turn on/off this option...
Help!

Well, I've seen that this option has not been removed in Disco 10.1.2...
In our system Disco Viewer is used by end users, who totally ignore the meaning of settings like query governor, fan-trap detection, etc.
So, is there a way to remove this button from Disco Viewer???

Is it possible that auto complete and auto fill are no longer functioning? If so, how can I revert to my previous Firefox version that did offer these invaluable tools?

Believe my question says it all.

What leads you to believe that autocomplete is no longer working? What do you see, what did you expect to see. Try to avoid creating guessing games.
Do you have history going back for a long time, and from recent previous sessions. Check History ("Ctrl+Shift+H").
The Awesomebar is dependent of having history and bookmarks to work with
http://img232.imageshack.us/img232/4928/clearcachew.png
Everything encircled in blue would prevent the AwesomeBar (Location bar autocomplete) from working. Also make sure you are not clearing your "Form & Search History" for your second problem.
Make sure you are not in Private Browsing.
You can make Firefox 4.0.1 look like Firefox 3.6.17, see numbered items 1-10 in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 look like 3.6)]

How do i disable auto-click in the bookmarks bar?

I recently went to FedEx to track a package and I save the link in the bookmarks bar. When I show all bookmarks the display for the bookmarks bar shows a column between the name and the url. The title of the column is "Auto-Click".
How did this happen and, more importantly, how do I get rid of the Auto-Click column?
This is on an iMac (intel) running OS X Lion. The Safari version is 6.0.3.
Bill aka VMS Mangler

Settings -> General -> Keyboard -> Auto-Correction -> OFF.
But this is a global setting, not just for the Mail app.

I don't get spotlight suggestions in search bar

Hello,
I have the release version of Yosemite installed since yesterday. I never got the famous spotlight suggestions that supposed to be a part of the new safari search engine, until now. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

Hi ..
You need to set it up in Safari Preferences.
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Search tab.
Select: Include Spotlight Suggestions
By the way. Safari is not a search engine. It's a browser.

Suggested Feature: Search bar in Party Shuffle

The main appeal of Party Shuffle for me is that ability to add songs as I think of them without having to cut off the current song or having annoying pauses in the music while I scour my library for the next song I feel like listening to.
So a search feature integrated into the Party Shuffle would be amazing. Something with a similar function to Launch Bar or Spotlight. Perhaps a search field added to the controls at the bottom that would allow you to quickly search (as you type) for a song without taking you away from the party shuffle window. Type in "seven swa..." arrow down to the song I want, hit enter, and there it is in the party shuffle list.
Quick, intuitive, sexy. Let's do it.

Good idea.
This is Apple Discussions User-to-User Forum though, so you need to make your suggestion to Apple.
I think this is the link http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html but it says Music Request at the top of the page.

Suggest Values(Auto Fill) for code and description in WD ABAP

Greetings everyone,
 I have one ABAP webdynpro application which has to provide the auto fill (Suggest Values) option for one of the field for Eg:Material No.The requirement is the user will have only one field where he/she should be able to search the material either by its name or material number in the same field.Please let me know how we can achieve this.As of now i am able to search by material number using suggest values using my own custom search help.But how can i include the material description also as search option for the material number field.Any help will be appreciated.
Material No:[____________] <- - - i should be able to search both by material number and description in suggest values(Autofill)
Thanks,
Vignesh

Hi Thomas,
 You are right. I have exactly thought the same way and i implemented the code as well in the search help exit which will give my own search result to the searching criteria with both number and description. I have able to achieve this for one application and now i am able to search with both number and description in the same field.But when i am trying to get the same functionality for another field ,it is showing a auto fill values but only for code and not for description of the code.I have mentioned below the code i have written in the search help exit and i am passing the list to the source tab and getting the search help result in record_tab.When i test this from normal SAP GUI using F4 functionality it works perfect.But when i try to use this search help via Autofill(Suggest values) in WD ABAP,it is not working the same way what i want.I mean it only searches with the code but not with the description in teh autofill.
Any help will be appreciated.

Cannot disable Auto Tone on import of PSD files - ruins edits !!

Hi - I am a LR 5 expert and we have an issue with the latest release that I need to overcome or it is unusable.    Please direct this to an expert level support person as I have already networked around and have not been able to resolve this issue.    The issue is consistent with other users as well - we have tried this on several computers and the result is the same.     It is possible that is pilot error but I doubt it - we have disabled apply auto tone everywhere we could find it...
I believe this is a serious bug in the way LR handles files on import - and I am also hoping there is an immediate work-around as the issue has TRIPLED our workflow time.
Example #1   -   Edit DNG - Export as PSD with "add to catalog" checked - LR exports the file and then imports the PSD,   but in doing so applies auto tone and destroys all the edits. The re-imported images are too bright and too contrasty.       Auto tone on import IS disabled.
We tried to work around the issue by trying to edit outside LR and re-importing but that does not work either -SAME RESULT !
Example #2 -   Edit DNG files, export to PSD, do not check "add to catalog" - make the edits needed in Photoshop, then import using "add" and LR applies Auto Tone once again destroying all edits.      You can actually watch the auto tone being applied to the thumbs as it imports them. - they get brighter.
In all cases the edited images end up too bright and too contrasty and are otherwise unusable.        Our workaround is to export to PSD, edit in photoshop, then use Photoshop's   scripts to produce the final images and leave the PSD files out of the catalog - this has added a TON of time to our workflow and has corrupted our file management - UNACCEPTABLE !!
We have also tried reading the external meta data option - same result - bright files.
Please let us know how we completely disable auto tone on import and fix this issue it is a deal breaker for using this version.   We are using LR 5.6
Thanks, Mark
Head Janitor, 6IXGUN.COM

Looks like we solved our own problem -   either edit or delete the preferences files and restart lightroom. If you delete it, it will of course wipe our your template settings, etc but that was far less of a hassle than not being able to use LR with PSD / exporting. We were able to make a simple edit and it was fixed.   Also make sure you have unchecked "apply auto tone" in the >preferences>presets   dialog box - we did not have it checked but it WAS enabled in the plist file.       I would definitely consider this a bug - the issue was not present in the last version of LR, it was introduced upon installing 5.6.

How do I remove auto-fill items?

Hi,
When I type in "w" as the start of a url in the address bar, a list of 4 or 5 previously visited sites pops up immediately. I have tried disabling auto-fill, deleting all my bookmarks and reinstalling them, deleting history, cache etc., and it still happens. Actually it's stopping me using Safari as my browser, and I'm now using Chrome instead. How can I fix this issue in Safari?
Thanks,
Richard

HI Richard,
The only alternative at this time is to turn on Private Browsing.
From your Safari Menu Bar click Safari/Private Browsing.
Safari won't remember pages you visit, history, or AutoFill information.
When I type in "w" as the start of a url in the address bar, a list of 4 or 5 previously visited sites pops up immediately.
Most Safari users are complaining about this feature. You can provide feedback here.

I dont want in some sites auto fill the password but rather i want if i put atleast three correct entry then the password box be auto filled...plz reply asap...

dont auto fill d password in some sites but auto fill after atleast three correct entry..as gmail other member r also used this...

You can disable auto-fill (I'm using this as well), but you can't delay this by having to enter the same name more than once.
You can set the Boolean pref signon.autofillForms to false on the about:config page.
*You can open the about:config page via the location bar and accept the warning
