Now we're wondering if that's been there all along without being readily visible.

We have better things to do than research how to address undesirable features and defaults in Firefox. This is exactly the type of nonsense that caused many people to leave IE behind.


Read here about changing the Address/bar: viewtopic.php?f=38&t=685365
Before you do that, you might want to read here and learn what the new Smart Location Bar is all about:

I work for a documentation management company and help with a family computer business. Past the marketing, I understand better than most what "smart" indicates with these types of features.

The point I failed to convey is total lack of appreciation and time. Thanks for trying to help but again, no one in this house/business is interested in keeping up with how to avoid using the features integrated into Firefox 3. We won't be recommending Firefox to customers any longer.

*Shrug* :roll: We don't care what browser you use, sorry Firefox did not work out for you. Hope you find something to your liking.

OK.. This is now off topic, and is going nowhere. The original post was about the Google Toolbar. NOT the Location Bar.

Locking. There are other discussions about the Location bar. Post POLITELY and CONSTRUCTIVELY in one of those.
