Hey Guys
Humming along on my recently installed Ubuntu 8.04 box.
Firefox 3 Beta 5 is the current browser.
The new feature for the URL bar when entering addresses - autopopulating
based on bookmarks or wildcard search entries - is actually kinda
annoying. Yes, its a nice widget, but I dont know if I want every aspect
of every url I enter sent through to a search engine for processing as I
enter it (!).
I wouldnt mind reverting to 'classic' behavior (perhaps where it autofills
on history, and perhaps bookmarks, but not on search results) - anyone
know if this is possible?
I've had a nosey through about:config and there's a bunch of stuff under
browser.urlbar which I was looking through but nothing really seemed
exactly right.
TIA
Mark.
