[QUOTE="rain2reign, post: 960328, member: 88069"] This is in Firefox for a longer period of time, but them being ads is new to me. I know that the suggestions used to use Google, or some other engine of choosing, to generate suggestions based on what you typed. If you typed in a country name, then you would get suggestions "<country> currency" or "<country> time" for instance with a magnifier glass icon in front of it, but no URL just generated search terms. Edit: i always disable this function, since it was just cluttering up my URL bar. :P [/QUOTE]
