Angry Auto-complete missing

Using Windows XP SP1 and Firefox browser with Yahoo homepage. Auto-complete has suddenly stopped working.
A Google search found this:
1. Enter about:config in the address bar
2. Right-click on the page and select New > Boolean
3. Enter browser.urlbar.autoFill as the preference name (note: it's case-sensitive)
4. Set the value to True
5. That's it. You don't even have to restart Firefox for the change to take effect. Nice.

Tried it. Didn't work.

I believe by following the action that you searched for on google, you have enabled the feature that autocomplete's URL's/address's as you type them into the address bar at the top of firefox... Probably not what you were after...

Did you want to autocomplete forms? Or have I read your post entirely incorrectly...?
