Don't love the new "awesome bar" in Firefox 3? It knows your history and your bookmarks and it's so pretty, but it's not for everyone. Here's a quick tip to get the old Firefox 2 address bar back in Firefox 3. You can see this tip in action at CNET TV.
Go to addons.mozilla.org and get the oldbar 1.2 add-on.
Add it to Firefox.
Close the browser and restart.
You should see the address bar you've come to know and love. And if you ever get the urge to live in the present again, just turn the add-on off and your "awesome bar" shall return.

Thanks to wickednix for sending us this tip. You can see this tip in action at CNET TV.
In the "awesome bar," type "about:config".
Go ahead and agree that you'll be careful.
Find "browser.urlbar.matchOnlyTyped". Click it and the value should change to "True".
Exit the browser, restart, and Firefox will no longer show your private bookmarks.
