“For starters it will include a Control+Tab replacement that makes switching between tabs a bit more fancy.”

Fancy is the word. It’s completely impossible for me to use.

# = hash not pound.

So you can use the format… “* yahoo” right. That’s what I’d do since it matches up with using search keywords like “y pizza”

Yes, “* yahoo” would return any bookmark results that have “yahoo” in them.

Hmm…interesting, but this seems more suitable for power users than regular users. Well I be using it for sure.

It’s definitely geared towards power users, but you have to remember that those are mostly the people complaining about the new address bar in the first place. So I think Mozilla was just trying to please them with this.

Looks pretty cool. I’m thinkin if I end up using these it’ll be mainly for bookmarks, then possibly for history or tags.
