Whenever I use the url bar in firefox, often times the first entry in the bookmarks/history search is the one I want to use. What I want to do is just be able to type 'fb' for instance and just hit enter. It will then redirect me to facebook.com. What I have to do currently is type 'fb' (I have facebook bookmarked as fb) then hit the down arrow, then press enter. If I press enter without hitting the down arrow first, then it does google search for facebook, which is not what I intended. This is kind of cumbersome to me when 'fb' will always make the first entry be facebook due to how I have it bookmarked.

Hi dr.admiral37,

You could bookmark Facebook and add a Keyword (by editing the bookmark the keyword option will become available). You can then simply type the keyword (in this case fb) in your location bar, hit enter and you'll be redirected to the bookmarked site.

Hope that helped.

Regards, Ziggy
