At least Firefox gives proper suggestions from history when typing in addresses. Chrome is way off, as if it wants you to search in google instead.

That's the main reason I've always stuck with Firefox. I use the address bar as a way to quickly access my history instead of using bookmarks, and it has worked so well for me so far.

Actually it only gives a limited numer (10 or so) hits from your history. I remember years ago, this wasn't the case and you could keyword search your history/bookmarks and the dropdown would get longer and get a scrollbar, but you could actually scroll through 100s of hits that way.

I used that a LOT, and I'm still sad they removed it for some reason. 10 is very often not enough, because it lists too many similar domains.

It is possible to get that feature back with two advanced tweaks (which I had to use):

1) Increase the number of results in about:config: Set browser.urlbar.maxRichResults to your desired value (like 60).

2) Make the results scrollable with a userchrome.css tweak: Using this example or your own: https://github.com/MrOtherGuy/firefox-csshacks/blob/master/c...

Yes, I also notice that I often don't have to go to Google because the page I need is in the dropdown. Suggestions in FF work awesome.

If I enter "gov.ie" in Chrome, it will search for it rather than going to the address. So annoying.
