Like it or hate the main point is why in the F@#$% isn't there an easy-to-find granular properly-named option to put it back to one line. Nothing like a hardcoded interface to break years of user familiarity. There been a huge movement to waste screen real estate the past 5 years.

The third suggestion is allow user to combine them into one line, and use color to differentiate between title and URL.

But as I also dislike using tons of add-on's (the only one I currently use is SearchStatus), I decided to give it a shot and see what happens; eventually close my eyes while I type in a URL... ;-) ~Marcus Great you like my article, Deimos. :cool:

For example, if you type "hko", it will search for all URL which contains "hko". But i hate the new address bar because it contains 2 lines, which annoy me. So, i would prefer old (Firefox 2 ) address bar with "autocomplete manager" plugin. Haha... I like this new feature because it can automatic complete the address bar for us.

At first, I can't get used to it. However, since I always only use development builds of firefox, I had to use it. And the longer I use, the better it gets. Now, if you give me the old bar, I will be wishing for the new one, since it has some nice features. Like if you type something in the bar, it will show you the most relevant urls that you had access. I like it, as I surf lots of website/blogs/forum, I can't fit most of it into my bookmark bar, so the awesome bar helps.
