I used to be able to load a page from the auto complete function without having to hit enter. I could start typing an address, the url list would pop down and I could click on it and it would automatically load the page. I had to do a clean install of the os and I'm trying to get that functionality back I really don't want to have to click on the addy and then have to hit enter I just want the page to load after I click on it. Any help would be great.

Nevermind it seems to have corrected itself after the update to 8.0

It should by default still do that, have you changed settings or started using private browsing

Does it work again after you have changed the settings.

I just installed firefox after doing a clean os install. No private browsing and it isn't a problem with my history. When I start typing an address, the address bar drops down with sites and suggestions. I used to be able to just click on one and it would load, now instead of loading if I click on it it just puts the website address in the bar and waits for me to hit enter. I don't want to have to hit enter at all I just want it to load when I click on it. I can't figure out where I would change that setting.
