+Feel free to discuss it here
+Original proposal:
+; Better autocomplete in form fields
+* Autocomplete list should be editable (like cookie-list) or erasable otherwise it will contain a lot of trash after some time and it is also a mild security risk because sometimes people demonstrate their actions and it is not nice previous entries pop-up; perhaps some toggle can help to disable/enable the feature
+* Also, Emacs-style autocomplete ("dynamic expansion") of words will increase input speed dramatically in input and textarea fields
+* It could go even further by having abbrev-list in a meta rel fashion (the same fashion as favicon is specifyed or other related documents)
-Feel free to discuss it here
+If implemented, this proposal can boost productivity for web-application users with technically simple (and known from many text-processors/editors) UI add-on

+Discussion:
+Features suggested are aimed at better manageability of autocomlete features of Firefox. First one is about user control over that list of suggested completes; the other two is about boosting text-input speed by dynamic expansion.
