Can I change the behaviour of the dropdownlist in the adressbar?
I really like the feature of FF where, when I start typing in the adressbar, a dropdown list appears with URL's I have visited before. This lets me select an adress quickly (fatser than using my mouse to navigate my favourites). Note: I have setup my FF to NOT display (google) search results in te adressbar.
Recently I have noticed a change in the behaviour of this dropdownlist (or maybe I'm mistaken?). The dropdownlist now consists of all URL's I've ever visited that contain the text I'm typing. E.g. when I type "a" in the adressbar the list (very long) will contain all URL's that have an "a" at any place in their URL, OR in the page Title.
What I would prefer is that the dropdownlist only contains URL's that actually start with (*) the text I'm typing in the adressbar. E.g when I start typing "fl", the dropdowlist should have freepascal.org and flyinsheep.nl in it, but not bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=30412 (the page title is "DBGrid Float-Field displays sometimes 3,89999999999 instead of 3,9").
(*) When I say "starts with" I mean that it should be intelligent enough to not take into account the protocol and preferrably also "www." could be omitted. E.g. "fl" woud also match www.flyingsheep.nl.
Is this behaviour of the dropdownlist in the adressbar configurable somehow? I could not find anything in FF Options.

Hmm, sort of, but fl should never match freepascal.org ...
Part 1: Only match from the left of the host name (ignoring www) or title
(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste URLB and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the browser.urlbar.matchBehavior preference and change the value to 3 and click OK. The following article documents the available settings for this preference: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.urlbar.matchBehavior
Part 2: Only match in the URL, not the title
There is no built-in setting to force this, but you can begin your input with an @ followed by a space. Firefox will only match in the url but will still bold any coincidental match in the title.
Maybe an add-on can do this automatically.
