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:

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.

  1. Thank you for this writeup, VG !

  2. 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.

  5. ^^ 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.

  6. I have tried it but cant working. But thank for solution
