Google autocomplete not working

more options

Hello I am having an issue with Google's autocomplete function on firefox for android.

The autocomplete works in address bar, it works on google.com main page, and most of google subpages but it will not work from search results page. The autocomplete feature returns if I use the request desktop site or switch to classic, issue only appears on mobile version.

I have tried clearing private data but the issue continues.

Can anyone assist with this issue? Is this a known bug?

I received the update Friday, cleared everything when done browsing as I have always done, and Saturday this issue began.

It sounds like the autocomplete feature you refer to is entirely the Search Suggestions from Google (and your history, bookmarks, etc.). Is that correct?

Not sure why that would not work normally. It may be one or more of these bugs.

I can still see the suggestions from history and bookmarks in the url bar, my issue happens only on Google search results page when viewed in mobile mode.

It sounds very much like bug 1515633 from the link you provided.

Many of those were tagged as new, although i didn't see the dates. Hopefully they are regressions which will be addressed shortly.
