Newest version of Thunderbird is very slow to complete addresses of mail recipients.

Prior to version 31, I could just type the first few characters of e-mail addresses (for recipients) and then move on to the next field and the program would auto-complete the e-mail addresses.

Since updating to ver 31, I have to keep the cursor in the field and wait for the address to autocomplete and then sometimes when I move to the next field (probably based on whether I hit enter or tab, I guess) the e-mail address actually changes to a different one.

Would be great if developers could restore the very convenient prior function of the e-mail address autocomplete.

Welcome to the new, broken address book. The only fix that I know of is going back to version 24.6 until they fix the new version. I have delayed the upgrade due to this and other problems with V31.
