In the Location bar, enter about:config
Search for the preference browser.urlbar.maxRichResults.
Double-click the browser.urlbar.maxRichResults preference and enter a value of -1.
Close Firefox.
Restart

hey shovel that sort of worked. it turned off all the autofill results. i just dont like the new autofill results. for example. when i went to type in signs101.com the autofill list was HUGE and it was like my private messages and a bunch of stuff that never came up before. and the type itself was HUGE!! ack i want to revert back!

they are getting a lot of heat over that smart bar "improvement"

i've had mine to -1 for a couple of days but with version 2 you could click that little arrow at the right of the bar and it would display recently visited pages....i can't get this new version 3 to do that :banghead:

I had to search out this thread again to find the name of this plugin.

I can't live with the new bar list . . . Thanks again Shovel !

OK, I'll bring this up again

Even with OLDBAR 1.2 in place, why is it that my address bar doesn't update my recently visited pages. I have the same 10 addresses that I had when I upgraded to 3.0 It never adds the new address to the top of the list ( or anywhere for that matter)

Tools-->Options-->Privacy Tab-->"Location Bar"

There is a drop down with several options. I prefer to just have "history" selected. Perhaps yours is set to "none" ??
