This "awesomebar" is terrible - I no longer get Google suggestions, and it's just not user friendly to have to press the tab key every time I want to search (and never be able to search in the tab I'm done with - instead Firefox automatically opens a new one for me).

Is there any way to get my old search bar back? I'm considering switching to Chrome as a result.

Thanks, Courtney

You can modify the pref keyword.URL on the about:config page to use Google's "I'm Feeling Lucky" or Google's "Browse By Name".
