If you use Mozilla Firefox 3.0 or later, you might be aware of the new awesomebar (redesigned addressbar):

It shows the URL as well as the title of all auto-complete entries. If you don't like this new redesigned addressbar and want to get the old styled addressbar like Firefox 2.0:

Then here is a solution for you. You just need an extension "Oldbar" which can make the new awesomebar look like the old addressbar.
Download the extension using following link:
Download Oldbar Extension for Firefox 3.0 and later
Install it and restart your browser. Now enjoy the good old addressbar in Firefox 3.0 or later.
PS: It doesn't change the functionality of awesomebar. It just changes the look.
If you want to disable the auto-complete feature of new addressbar or want to increase/decrease the no. of auto-complete entires, then visit following tutorial:

Thanks for this information, as i think the awesome bar is garish and overly obnoxious. It does not need to be larger than the webpage.
I also just noticed you removed the smileys. Gotta remain the professional though.
Great stuff and off i go. thanks again.

^^ Since its Idea GPRS, the IP is dynamic and is randomly assigned to all idea users. You can't do anything. You can disconnect and reconnect, it'll assign a new IP.
