Firefox new tab has a box in the middle of the page for you to click in and enter text to search in your default search engine - and it immediately starts typing in the URL bar. IF I WANTED TO USE THE URL BAR I WOULD CLICK THERE.

Throws me off every time.

I can't recall this wasn't a thing. Mildly infuriating surely. What's really infuriating though...

Also, if my single keyword search matches an url in my history, it will happily open the url instead of doing a search. Aargh...

Happens quite a lot so I learned to hit the space-bar after a single keyword search.

That's a feature, not a bug, and I personally love it.

There's an about:config setting for that, too. browser.urlbar.autoFill = false

[-] kindenough@kbin.earth 5 points 4 months ago

I like the autofill too, just not when I type in the search bar. I like the url and search functions separated in their own bars.

[-] glimse@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Fair enough, thankfully it's a pretty easy change to get it how you want!

[-] Shawdow194@kbin.run 5 points 4 months ago

Glad I'm not only one who space bars after!

Also fixes autofill when you are trying to search a new query that starts with same string

[-] Halosheep@lemm.ee 3 points 4 months ago

This happens to me often. I don't learn, unlike you.

Always trying to go too fast.

[-] kindenough@kbin.earth 1 points 4 months ago

At least you are literate and a scholar in self deprecation.

Meself, I can push a space-bar quite good after I recall what I was searching for.

Type the thing, when autocomplete is shown, press backspace; then search. The backspace will remove the completion

[-] kindenough@kbin.earth 2 points 4 months ago

Thank you for the tip.
