Comment on Firefox search box jumps focus to address bar

I can't recall this wasn't a thing. Mildly infuriating surely. What's really infuriating though...

Also, if my single keyword search matches an url in my history, it will happily open the url instead of doing a search. Aargh...

Happens quite a lot so I learned to hit the space-bar after a single keyword search.

That’s a feature, not a bug, and I personally love it.

There’s an about:config setting for that, too. browser.urlbar.autoFill = false

  I like the autofill too, just not when I type in the search bar. I like the url and search functions separated in their own bars.

    Fair enough, thankfully it’s a pretty easy change to get it how you want!

This happens to me often. I don’t learn, unlike you.

Always trying to go too fast.

  At least you are literate and a scholar in self deprecation.
  
  Meself, I can push a space-bar quite good after I recall what I was searching for.

Type the thing, when autocomplete is shown, press backspace; then search. The backspace will remove the completion

  Thank you for the tip.
