    It looks the same as it did in FF2. I had to change the "browser.urlbar.maxRichResults" back from 12 to something more like 22 to get it to display as many sites as FF2 did when I clicked the address bar, but now when I type "esp" into the address window it suggests espn.com, like FF2 did.

      Sounds like you did a darn good job of disabling the awesomeness, I'll give FF3 another shot. Thanks for the info!

        I'm really liking FF3. It's way faster than FF2.

          (1) Install the oldbar 1.2 extension.
          (2) Go to "about:config" (via the address bar).
          (3) Scroll down to "browser.urlbar.matchOnlyTyped."
          (4) Double click to set this to "true."

            It will probably happen some time. MS wouldn't want people switching from their e-mail service.

            Thanks for the update.

              I think I'm going to stick with FF2, at least for now, after hearing all the bad things about FF3. Besides, with the tweaks I did to FF2, it runs very fast anyways, probably just as fast as FF3.

              I am thinking about downloading Safari though...

                I'll post if I figure out a solution to the Alt-S situation.

                  .
                  Doubtful it's as fast as FF3.

                    I didn't really care for Safari too much. FF3 ran well during Beta and I think it runs much better as a full release.

                      I don't run many extensions if at all but I'm finding FF3 to be a lot faster then FF2 and so i'm not fussed over the awesome bar.

                      I'm sure all the kinks will be worked out in a month's time.

                        Takes about 5 seconds and it's gone for as long as you have that as your preference.

                          Oh yeah? Might download it today then.

                          What's with the "awsome bar"?

                          What does alt + s do on FF?
