To futher improve the FF3 Urlbars behavior

After trying AWeirdoNamedPhil's excellent suggestions, to futher improve the Urlbar:

First, in about:config

1) set browser.urlbar..matchBehavior to 2

this makes it match from the beginning of URLs and words, instead of anywhere, which some numpty at Mozilla thinks is a grand idea. 3 should make it only search only URLs, but only works in 3.1 and nightly builds.

Download and install the Oldbar extension from addons.mozilla.org to make the urlbar look like the FF2 Addressbar.

You will now have something that looks and acts _almost_ like the Firefox Addressbar should.
