Apparently I’m not the only one that was rather under-whelmed by the new address bar behavior.
From Tim Trueman from Richard Crowley:
- Go to about:config.
- Set browser.urlbar.matchOnlyTyped to true.
- Profit!
This will cause Firefox to almost revert its address-bar behavior to the familiar Firefox 2 style where it matches the beginning of URLs instead of attempting some hairbrained search. If I’d wanted to search, I would have hit Apple+K.
