Enabling URL Autocomplete in Firefox 3.5.*
Chrome and Safari has this nifty feature enabled by default… as you start typing in the Location bar entries from your history and bookmarks are autocompleted into the field.
Apparently you can also do this in Firefox 3.5, but it is disabled and hidden away in about:config.
To enable this, pop over to “about:config” in Firefox, and toggle the key “browser.urlbar.autoFill” to true.
Rental Car Adventures: Toyota Prius
Work now pays for a rental for me to use while I am on Domestic Assignment in the “desert”. My first rental? A dark blue Toyota Prius. I don’t care if you think the car is lame, but you have to admit that its quite the geek ride..
Despite all of its buttons and gadgets in the cockpit, driving the Prius is basically like driving a fridge. There’s no roar of an engine. There’s not much feedback when driving.
The gas mileage is of course fantastic which makes it great for all the driving I have to do, but I think my next rental car will be something else.
