Why Google AutoComplete fails in Firefox 17.0.1, when I type something in the search field, there is no pull down the list of options as I type?

When I type a word or phrase in the Google search bar, the AutoComplete fails; There is no drop-down list of options for research, only thing I totally typed in. I type the full word or the word I'm looking for and press ENTER to get the results. I use a MacBook and OS X 10.7.5 Please help! It's so frustrating!

It could be 3 things.

1. you have disabled the Suggestions show inside the Google search bar.

Click once inside the search bar, then click inside the bar.

At the bottom of the context menu, choose Show the Suggestions

2. If you are connected to your Google account, you can set the option to turn off AutoComplete in the Google search parameters.

3 or, perhaps, you have Javascript disabled in Firefox. In case you were wondering, Javascript and Java are not the same thing. Java is a plugin used for the online games and other applications.

To check if Javascript is enabled:

Firefox button > Options > Options > content

Make sure there is a checkmark on "enable Javascript"
