Can this be done in Firefox?

Guys,

I've been using chrome quite a bit lately and although I love it, I also like firefox... But, having used chrome for the last couple of months I don't like then going back to ff and not being able to do the same things - if that makes sense?

What I want to know is, is there a addon/option etc that will allow you to type the first couple of letters of a url and the browser 'guess' the rest? Not really sure what this is called, but IE also has its own version.

Currently my firefox just brings up my bookmarks/history as I type?

This is what you are looking for I think:

Doesn't seem to work for me mate - still only finds what I've already typed out (or stuff from my bookmarks).

Tbh, I could probably do a full switch over to chrome if there's nothing available

Thanks.

Something like this then I guess you're after.
