On Firefox, I disable autocompletion from browser history, but keep it enabled for bookmarks. So much easier to avoid unwanted side-tracks.

  But Firefox's 'awesome bar' autocomplete is how I find things in my history. "I went to a web page sometime in... February? Or November? It was something about widgets... types in 'wid' Oh there it is."

    Firefox is smart enough by now to manage it in almost 1 keystroke on average. Even more fun, when I type "you", Firefox not only suggests youtube but also the github page for a small script that extracts the rss feed link from youtube channels and playlists. I use that maybe once every few months. It's amazing really.

      Firefox awesome bar took a lot of (unfair IMO) criticism back a few years back. I have the same experience as you guys, and on one occasion I think it saved me days of work by helping me recover a certain almost ungooglable resource I knew I had seen at some point.
