I want to begin typing a website's name, have firefox recognize it and indicate it to me, and press 'tab' to begin searching.
The lack of that single feature makes firefox unpleasant to use for me.
- radiojasper 4y agothat literally works in Firefox. It didn't in earlier versions, but it does now.
- bmn__ 4y agoWhat does begin searching mean? I just tested, the tab key cycles through the list of results for the input typed into the location bar. What should happen instead?
- archontes 4y agoIf I type 'goog', and the history result is google.com, then pressing tab should result in calling the search function in the tab with google as the search engine, and with the cursor in the box for the query. It should not cycle through the drop down menu.
- bmn__ 4y agoI can offer you search engine bookmarks as an alternative way to achieve this. For example, I have bookmarked https://www.npmjs.com/search?q=%s https://www.npmjs.com/search?q=%s with the keyword `n`, and https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/search?q=%s https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/search?q=%s with the keyword `mdn`. In the location bar, I type `mdn font-family` and submit, and this kicks off the search.
- rrishi 4y agoThis feature is present in my install. You should try updating perhaps.
- archontes 4y agoWill try.
