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.
