-== Summary ==
-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. "/").
