FIREFOX 3, final release: It’s not a new feature; it’s just a change in how the autocomplete feature in the location bar (where you type the Web address) works. When you start typing something, it doesn’t only give you the corresponding Web addresses which start with the same letters; it actually searches through your bookmarks http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/bookmark and history and tries to present the most relevant results based on both frequency and recency of your visits. For example, when I start typing “mas” I’ll get Mashable as the first couple of results, but I’ll also get Mashable if I start “soc” because it matches the site title, “social networking news.” The location bar learns and adapts from your usage, which should in theory make it better over time. However, some users might get annoyed at this new feature; if you’re accustomed to writing the first couple of characters of the domain name and want that exact domain name as the first result, you won’t immediately (and, perhaps, never) like the location bar. Luckily, there’s a Firefox add-on called Oldbar which tweaks the location bar to give you the functionality similar to the location bar in Firefox 2. Another tip which you may find useful will let you change the number of results for the autocomplete feature: type “about:config” and find the item named “browser.urlbar.maxRichResults.” Doubleclick it and change the number of results to whatever number you like
