{{FeaturePageBody
|Feature overview=Enabling autocomplete inline in the URL entry field makes it easier to enter often-typed URLs, and make our browser feel a lot faster, since the user gets immediate feedback on where we think they will go.

We stopped “speaking URL” when AwesomeBar came along, and it makes us seem
slower when typing a URL. A large portion of people still "speak URLs" when
navigating the internet, and we currently do a bad job at accommodating these
people.

We propose to turn on inline autocomplete, with some additional changes that make it stop completion at URL boundaries (e.g. "/").
|Feature requirements=A working, tested implementation that satisfies the design specification in {{bug|566489}}.
