There are firefox extensions that turn it into a normal entry box, although personally I love the awesome bar. I can't switch to any other browser now because I hate having to type out the whole url all the time. I can just type "hac" in my toolbar to go to hacker news.
FYI, in IE8, typing "hac" in the url bar sends you to a google search on "hac". In Safari, you end up at http://hac.com http://hac.com.
- FooBarWidget 18y agoSeconded. The awesomebar is one of the best Firefox features.
- quoderat 18y agoHow does anyone actually tolerate the awesome bar? When it debuted, I thought it was some kind of prank. I still kinda do.
- johnyzee 18y agoYou can also just type 'n' (if, like for me, HN is one of your most frequently visited sites).
- Hexstream 18y agoI can already do this with Firefox 2.0 (Firefox 3.0 from the Ubuntu repository crashed for me when I installed a new version of Ubuntu so I had to downgrade Firefox).
