    Hi,
    Since a while now I have this issue that the forms on webpages or wherever I enter text (like Google) don't remember previous entrances. Like when I wrote an "A" it used to pop up a list with all the searches started with "A". Not anymore, which is pretty annoying.
    Any idea why? I use Firefox 2.0.
    Thanks.

    Go to Tools->Options->Privacy tab.
    Then check "Remember what I enter..."

    That option (remember what...) is already checked. I don't know what is going on.

    Do you have a program that automatically deletes cookies, temp files, and form history? A program like CCleaner? This would clear out all of the data, so nothing would pop out.

    Try turning the feature off in FF, restarting FF, and then turning it back on.

    I have AVG antispyware and Kaspersky. Would those make it? Thanks for the answers.
