Disable Firefox 3 AwesomeBar

admin — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 20:34:49 +0000

I just downloaded FireFox 3 and I'm pretty happy with it. It's fast and works well. The AwesomeBar is a cool feature, but I generally don't like auto-complete (EDIT: for bookmarks or previously typed-in URLs) in a browser, so having it search my entire bookmarks and list all the possible matches is something I wanted to disable. If you're annoyed by the Firefox 3 AwesomeBar (or SmartBar or whatever it's called) like I am, there's an easy way to display it.

Warning: if you are unfamiliar with FireFox's about:config settings, be VERY careful following these steps as you could hose your browser.

In the address field, type "about:config", without the quotes, and hit enter
In the filter field, type "browser.urlbar", also without the quotes, and hit enter
Double-click on the line with browser.urlbar.matchBehavior, change the value in the popup to 0, and click OK
Double-click on the line with browser.urlbar.maxRichResults, change the value in the popup to 0, and click OK
Now restart FireFox and enjoy!

EDIT: I should clarify that my intent is to COMPLETELY disable the AwesomeBar, not turn it into the old type-in-address-only-matching address bar from FireFox 2.

While this isn't the most elegant solution, it's not bad if you're looking for a way to make Stacks in Leopard look much nicer.

I thought this was very representative of the mentality of Apple versus other computer manufacturers in regards to the user's experience. Click on the thumbnail to see the full size image.
