Hmm, not sure what else you would need.

When searching for a setting to make Firefox work like Chrome, I had found this a while back: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1223611

I basically did what was suggested there. (The 2-3 character length I suggested was just from my experience of avoiding collisions with other urls I might visit and was when I wanted to hit return when I started typing.)

Not sure if these settings matter or not. I just tried disabling a few and it doesn't seem to make a difference These are the only ones that seem relevant.

In about:preferences#search I have this enabled:

  -  Provide search suggestions
  -  Show search suggestions in address bar results

In about:preferences#privacy I have this enabled (plus a few other things):

  -  Bookmarks

Thanks so much for this. I confirmed that this works on a virgin firefox install, and was able to get it working on my config after messing with the search settings to enable search suggestions.

The key here is that if firefox sees an exact match to a bookmark keyword, it will put that as the top hit on the address bar. So if you put a short keyword for your bookmark (in this case, ha for the aforementioned hackaday example) you can type in h a {enter} and it will take you to the full url of the bookmark instead of the base.
