Firefox 3: Restoring the old address bar

[Jackie]

That is, Firefox 3.0 is out, and you found before an address bar at the very strange behavior. It is now called AwesomeBar, and although it was scheduled to appear fantastic users, all do not necessarily appreciate how it works.

And for good reason, its operation is completely different: in addition to search the addresses already visited, the bar also seeks to bookmarks and in the data attached to each page. So when you start typing a word or a piece of web address, the results may surprise.

For those who do not support this new format, there remains the possibility of making almost the AwesomeBar the old behavior by installing an extension: Oldbar. Note also that it is strange that Mozilla has not provided the opportunity to disable this feature.

• Download the extension Oldbar

Those who prefer can tweak type in the address bar about: config before looking in the filter field line browser.urlbar.maxRichResults and fix the value 0.

I've updated my add-on to work well with the newest version of Firefox.

It will make the same options as Oldbar, but also many others to refine. And the defaults it uses are fairly close to what was Firefox 2.
Once V2.0 is approved, you will have the options menu and no more conflicting messages.
