- codedokode 7y agoYes, I also notice that I often don't have to go to Google because the page I need is in the dropdown. Suggestions in FF work awesome.
- patrickmcnamara 7y agoIf I enter "gov.ie" in Chrome, it will search for it rather than going to the address. So annoying.
- paulintrognon 7y agoThat's the main reason I've always stuck with Firefox. I use the address bar as a way to quickly access my history instead of using bookmarks, and it has worked so well for me so far.
- tripzilch 7y agoActually it only gives a limited numer (10 or so) hits from your history. I remember years ago, this wasn't the case and you could keyword search your history/bookmarks and the dropdown would get longer and get a scrollbar, but you could actually scroll through 100s of hits that way. I used that a LOT, and I'm still sad they removed it for some reason. 10 is very often not enough, because it lists too many similar domains.
- onurtag 7y agoIt is possible to get that feature back with two advanced tweaks (which I had to use): 1) Increase the number of results in about:config: Set browser.urlbar.maxRichResults to your desired value (like 60). 2) Make the results scrollable with a userchrome.css tweak: Using this example or your own: https://github.com/MrOtherGuy/firefox-csshacks/blob/master/chrome/scrollable_urlbar_popup.css https://github.com/MrOtherGuy/firefox-csshacks/blob/master/c...
