A related Firefox 3 (v3.5.7, actually) wish: guess I’m a chronic ‘mouser’ and don’t enjoy tapping the Enter key. This tip is great for the AwesomeBar; it did the trick – thanks.

But I want a permanent, clickable, ‘just do it’-type icon for the searchbar too. Maybe the elusive magnifying glass I read about, maybe a GO button or an arrow – I don’t care. Either inside the searchbar field or next to it.

Looking all over the web, all I see are instructions for *removing* an alleged magnifying glass inside the searchbar (something I never see; was Firefox 3 supposed to have one as standard?).

Unfortunately I can’t recall whether I ever did anything to disable one when I first upgraded to Firefox 3. And I haven’t located any relevant setting, userscript, option, extension, or about:config alteration among my Firefox 3 nooks and crannies. I was hoping this site’s author or a reader would have a suggestion on how to absolutely/positively put one in…

The Go button / Enter also causes less network traffic than the Reload button, as it only appears to fetch the page, not the embedded stuff.

Alt+Enter will open the URI in a new tab.

Also remember that you can middle click the go button to open the typed address on a new window. You can’t do that with Ctrl+Enter!
