firefox 3's location bar is a mess, not just because of this issue. It will suggest me a gmail authentication string for almost all of my inputs. There are lots of ways to do this better. I like chromes way of doing it, but it has some privacy issues.

You can select a suggestion with the arrow keys and hit Delete to delete anything.

  I know but I would have to do it after every login at gmail. Firefox should just not include substrings.

If you select a different entry then that entry gets promoted next time you type the same string. So if you type "g" and a gmail address comes up but you cursor down to "engadget" (say) then next time you press "g" engadget is more likely to come up. After a few iterations g will bring up engadget as the first selection. It's awesome!

    I think he was jokingly using the name of the 'Awesome Bar' in his response.

      Ok you're right. Firefox on the other hand seems to be kind of a douche, calling itself awesome.
