Mozilla Labs: the URL Bar Has To Go

Posted by Unknown on from the command-line-strikes-back dept.

An anonymous reader writes with an editorial from ConceivableTech "Since Google's move to enable users to hide the URL bar, we have seen what could be the beginning of the end of one of the key features of the web browser. Mozilla has its own thoughts, but there is little doubt that Mozilla is reconsidering the purpose of the URL bar in future versions of its browsers. In a Mozilla Labs post today, David Regev suggests that the location bar should be replaced with a tool to support more than just one command."

    You still type in URL's? So old fashioned. I just think where I want to go and, BING, I'm there!

    "Overall, Firefox feels much more responsive and modular, where Firefox feels just monolithic."

    With all those cpus and memory are you sure you can see a difference between Firefox and Firefox?
