Firefox 3 has this new feature known as the smart location bar which recommends the user of websites on what is being typed in the location bar. These suggestions are taken from the users bookmarks and the user browsing history. By default it will give you a maximum of 12 results, but for some this is rather irritating.

firefox-3-rc2

Mozilla has released a RC2 version of Firefox 3. This was earlier available as a nightly build but now its been added to to their primary download servers. It can be downloaded from the main Firefox 3 download page. About the changes in this version, well there aren?t much..just several bug fixes and stuff. So if you are installing this keep in mind that the new version overwrites the previous RC1. You will not loose your settings but some extensions might stop working until there is an update for them.
