So far, I prefer the Chrome approach of a unified address+search bar to the Mozilla approach of 2 separate boxes. 1 keyboard shortcut to access either is far better than 2 .. if you type a search term in the firefox address bar as well, it'll search it for you ..
- andrew1 16y agoMaybe stating the obvious here, but you can just remove the search box from Firefox and they look pretty much the same.
- bmelton 16y agoExcept that you then don't have a search box. That's the magic of Chrome, is that the address bar IS ALSO the search box.
- andrew1 16y agoYou might have to mess around with the default behaviour but you can use the Firefox address bar as a search box. You can set it up so that typing 'g foo' searches for foo on Google, 'w bar' searches for bar on Wikipedia etc. It's actually more useful than the search box (in my opinion) as you can set up shortcuts so 'gm' will open google mail, 'lol' will open up the lolcats website. So there's really no need for a bookmarks bar either (as long as you can remember your shortcuts!).
