Get rid of the "Awful New Address Bar"

It's not that bad... Here's how you make your address bar act like one:

1. type "about.config" in the address bar (ha! have at you!) and hit enter. Click through the scary message. You can trust your uncle Phil... In the filter, put "URL" and search. Look for the word "urlbar" in the main window... There are several settings, two of which are useful.

2. set browser.urlbar.MatchOnlyTyped to "true".

3. set browser.urlbar.maxRichResults to "0".

4. restart your browser.

POOF! Your url bar is back to normal.

Heh... It's about time I was able to post something useful here!!! Now I'm going for a brewski.
