I like that Mozilla went out there and tried to change things around. I'm just wondering what the rationale behind not allowing the previous way to be used is.

I like that Mozilla went out there and tried to change things around. I'm just wondering what the rationale behind not allowing the previous way to be used is. Don't suppose you know or have an inkling?
My problem with "awesomebar" is that while it does bring up the sites I visit often (which FF2 did, and given they're a small number of social/news sites; /., reddit, hn, facebook, nytimes, etc its not exactly difficult to list), the order they're listed gets mixed up every time I try to visit a site.
reddit.com showing up ahead of news.ycombinator.com when typing "news" for example doesn't make me like this new way of figuring out what URL to go to (guessing randomly? I'm sure there's an algorithm behind it but after using it since RC1, it still looks random to me) what URL I want when I'm typing the URL in the URL bar.
- ComputerGuru 18y agoI'd like to point out that Opera 9.5 alpha had this feature before "Mozilla went out there and tried to change things around."
- dangoldin 18y agoDefinitely. I've been using it for the past month or so and have no idea why everyone is making such a big deal out of this. At first it was a little messy but I've gotten used to it so it's fine by me.
- Zev 18y agoDidn't know that. I haven't used (and dont plan on using) Opera. It's not a bad browser, just not my cup of tea.
