@jack: It sounds like you talking about the Awesome Bar in Firefox 3.0
You can read more at http://www.dria.org/wordpress/.....04/17/628/
I'm not sure how to disable it but many others online seem to dislike it too.
It sounds like it could be useful to me though.

ff3 not really to much of a diff. just the drop down bar that was listed above. and it is pretty fast but i'm not sure if i like it too much yet cuz some of my add-ons don't work. but other than that it hasn't crashed or have had any problems with it so far. you should just try it out for your self and if you have problems just reinstall 2.0 pretty easy.

Well that and massively improved memory footprint (version two has many a memory leak), Smart bookmarks (most visited, recently bookmarked, tags), the ability to tag your bookmarks. Get the details here http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/f.....easenotes/

I will repeat what i said,
Opera 9.50 BETA, is like the fastest browser i have ever used,
my connection is only like 2mbps but it feels like 8 mbps.
