Hide Bookmarks from the Awesome Bar

Hide from the Awesome Bar!

The Awesome Bar (or address bar, as those “normal” browsers might call it) does a great job at matching a web site saved in your bookmarks or history when you start typing in the Awesome Bar.  By default, Firefox doesn’t give you a way of saying, “Don’t show these bookmarks there” so now somebody has written up an add-on to give you that ability. 

The NotAwesome add-on for Firefox will help you hide any bookmarks tagged with “notawesome” from awesome bar searches.  This way you can totally flag bookmarks you don’t want showing up in the Awesome Bar results.

You can pick up this great add-on via the Firefox Add-ons web site.  (credit for this find goes to Lifehacker, when in turn goes to gHacks too!)

    How do we simply get rid of the Awful Bar?

    For those of us that don't ever want it to show anything when we type except what we are typing.
    just let us enter a Keyword or URL, and show the address of the displayed page, nothing more?

    Is there an extension to simply ELIMINATE the Awful Bar entirely?

    Tools > Options > Privacy > Location Bar > Change it to Nothing.
