I’ve recently received a couple more tweaks for dealing with the Firefox 3 ‘Awesome Bar’. Note: Tweaks do not work with Firefox 3.1! These are more updates to a couple of the tweaks:
- Number of Results - By default the Smart Location Bar will display a maximum of 10 or 12 results based on what is typed in the address bar. You can change this so NO RESULTS are displayed.
- In a new tab and type about:config; (if needed click the “I’ll be careful, I promise” button)
- In the filter field type browser.urlbar.maxRichResults
- double-click on the entry and enter -1
- click OK
- close and restart Firefox
- Remove Unvisited Bookmarks – Your displayed results will still include your bookmarks, but only those you have visited.For those who don’t want to mess with the about:config, you can install the add-on Hide Unvisited 3.

Love it!!!
If I want my history, I’ll go to my history.
If I want my bookmarks, I’ll go to my bookmarks.
All I need is the last few address I’ve put in and I’m happy. I don’t want to open a lot of information I don’t need then have to wade through it for what I want.
If I had access to these tweaks, I would have gone to Firefox 3 from the release, rather than being dragged to it, only when support was no longer available for Firefox 2
Great Job!!!
