Firefox drop-down address bar

[MrBond]

I switched to Firefox a couple weeks ago and like it so far. There's only one major complaint I have with it, and that's the address bar.

With IE, when I'd select a site to visit out of the address bar, it'd move it to the top of the list again. This worked well for me, because I could quickly access my recently visited sites without going into the favorites menu.

With firefox, once I type an address in, it stays in the address bar and pushes everything else to the bottom. If I want to access Anandtech, I have to scroll all the way to the bottom of the box.

Is there any way to make Firefox's address bar work like IE's? I realize I could use favorites, but I'm so conditioned to just use the drop down box it's going to be hard to retrain myself.

Thanks! I wasn't sure if it was a bug or not, which is why I was hesitant to file a bug report.

Lack of a feature is filed as a bug. If you do a search and don't find any existing bugs that request the feature, file it. Worst case, it will be resolved wontfix. Hopefully you search enough that it isn't a duplicate, but sometimes the oldest filing of a bug has a weird name . I intend to fix it within a week (it should be pretty easy).

edit: Uh, wow. They did their URL bar completely differently from how Mozilla does it. On second thought, I'll let somebody else fix it .
