I’ve been doing some additional reading this morning about Firefox’s address bar – which seems to be slowly converting over in the minds of the public to being renamed the awesome bar.
One of the features that makes the new address bar system really awesome is that it will match what your typing against the URLs, page titles and tags in your bookmarks and history – in turn giving you what you have been looking for.
The best news is that in Firefox 3 Beta 5, they have cut down a lot in the CPU power that is used when searching via the bar of awesomeness.
If you want more insight into the awesome bar and it’s development, go check out Edward Lee’s web site. Now I haven’t really been a huge bookmarker in the past, but with Firefox’s new address bar and bookmarking system I might have to rethink the way I browse the Web.
Update: If you find yourself not so happy with the new awesome bar here is how you can get rid of it:
The easy way woudl be grab the Old Bar Addon for Firefox 3
The hard way would be to type about:config into the address bar, and type this into the filter box (or scroll down to look for it) browser.urlbar.maxRichResults . Set the value of that to be “0″ and then restart Firefox.
I despise it Why is there not an OPTION to turnoff bookmarks in the address bar? I tried the plugin to bring back version 2 tool bar and it dose not work. If you google there is more than enough complaints about this feature that there should be no reason that the option to turn this off should have not been in RC1. Why is Mozilla ignoring this complaint? (Hence the name Beethoven because he was deaf) I understand a lot of people like it, be that it may all I am saying is why is there not the option to bring the address bar back to version 2 style, I am extremely disappointed Mozilla extremely, extremely disappointed….

Firefox 3 looks to be Mozilla’s Vista.The awesome Bar stinks.A lot of us don’t want any History at all,let alone a drop down bar that shows stuff we don’t want.Rc1 as far as i can tell gives no way to turn this mess off.
The awfulbar needs to have an option to turn it off, it is soooo irritating!
Mozilla devs are just like Microsoft, arrogant in their belief that everyone would love their new toy, is this what they have been developing for years?
Hey guys, just posted a fix in the article:

The Awesome Bar is the worst invention I’ve ever seen on any browser. It makers FF3 unusable. I can’t believe the FireFox developers were so stupid as to put this horrible feature on a browser.
“The Awesome Bar Excites Me!”
You must be a masochistic idiot.

In my opinion the information covered within the discussion is actually outstanding. I have been performing a study relating to the subject matter and your blog truly cleared up a good deal of questions I had. I am working on an essay along with term paper for my English class and actively studying many different personal blogs to study.
