>> Veronica: Hey everyone, welcome to Tekzilla Daily, I'm Veronica Belmont. Firefox address bar is officially named the AwesomeBar and for good reason, well, mostly, it's much smarter at figuring out which page you're looking to visit and offering suggestions as a drop-down. But has it ever occurred to you that it's not giving you enough suggestions or maybe too many? Well, as it turns out it's a simple matter to adjust the number of results that pop up, head to the About Colon Config page and scroll to Browser.URLbar.maxrichresults and change that number to your heart's content. That's all there is to it to make the AwesomeBar that much awesomer, just don't go overboard 'cause you might get more results than you can handle. Got a tip for us to pass along to the rest of the Tekzilla crew? E-mail us at Tekzilla@revision3.com, and as always Tekzilla.com, it's the place to find more tips, tricks, product reviews, and how-tos. ^E00:00:59
