Firefox updates address bar, makes Online search easier – News

Today’s Firefox release makes it “even easier” to get to the things that matter most to you Online. Here are the improvements announced by Mozilla:

Making search faster for you through the address bar

There’s a super fast way to do your searches through the address bar. Simply press CTRL & L (command-L on a Mac). It’s just one of the many keyboard shortcuts.

Here are the other ways to do searches right from the address bar:

  • Refreshed look and feel: We’ve enlarged the address bar anytime you want to do a search and simplified it in a single view with larger font, shorter URLs, adjusts to multiple sizes and a shortcut to the most popular sites to search.

  • Smarter searches: For example if you’re considering a “standing desk” for your home office we’ve bolded additional popular keywords that you might not have thought of to narrow your search even further.

  • Your top sites right at your fingertips: With a single click in the address bar, you’ve got access to your most visited sites. And if by chance you have that site already opened in another tab but can’t find it, we’ve highlighted a text shortcut next to it (in teal!) so you can easily jump to that tab rather than going through the gazillion tabs you already have open. This also works for any page you’ve searched, and may not realize you’ve already opened it.
