Address bar won't complete URL

[Guest]

Does anyone know how to fix problem of address bar has stopped completing web
address unless CTRL-ENTER is pressed? Eg., address bar used to complete
"weather.com" immediately as "http://www.weather.com" and go directly to
website. This has stopped working.
Thanks.

Are you referring to "AutoComplete for web addresses" (aka AutoSuggest?)
FYI you would only see that URL if you had previously visited it
*and* had it in your History or Favorites. IOW clearing History
or deleting the Favorite would cause your symptom.

In addition if you are used to seeing the first entry matching what
you type in the Address bar automatically appended to your typing
make sure that Use inline AutoComplete is also checked.
