Firefox seems to want to use my favourites as "auto complete" urls

I like how you can basically do a text search.

Say you want to find a youtube video you watched and loved (but foolishly forgot to favourite), instead of scrolling through billions of hopelessly obscure video ID's, just type "youtube <keyword>" and it comes up

That part is good, the catch is you MUST do a test search.

LUDDITE!

It's not being a luddite, what you're saying is that to have the wheel and fire I should give up on the club. For somethings the right solution is the simple one.

what are you giving up, precisely?

But as opposed to what?

You can still type out your web address manually, and this simply adds the option of showing you other options.

The reason i don't have a problem with the favourites bit is that you can bookmarks sites you use a lot and then when you clear your browsing history they'll still be there for quick access.

I think it's fine myself - it doesn't force you to look at the suggestions does it? I just type in the url in full as I always did.

Its saved me a lot of time already, what time it has "wasted" is minuscule by comparison.

Personally, really liking it.

As opposed to a dictionary search of URLs in your history. I don't want to have to retype http://forums.hexus.net/usercp.php every time when I could just type the first few letters.

I think this is going to be the biggest complaint.

Whilst most girls know guys search for porn, they might not know quite how perverted we really are.

But seriously, never thought of doing all 'that stuff' under a different username? One thats REALLY restricted too
