It used to help me a lot, but it can't be used on waterfox now (=firefox 56)

Used to like this addon a lot, been broken for a while now. But it turns out that the new Firefox Test Pilot has the same feature no more need of this addon.

Great addon! Does not work in Firefox 49. Please update.

its good and useful

It's great but stopped working on FF 49.0. Please fix it! Huge thank you

Great addon but is now broken. Please update for FF 49! Thanks.

Not working in FF 49.0 =(

Stopped working on FF 49.0

Set browser.urlbar.unifiedcomplete to false in about:config

1. add an option that allows reverting to the default search engine every time a search request is completed;
2. improve the search engine list (that appears when the engine icon is clicked) to make it more convienient to select the desired search engine (like the new search bar style since firefox 34 browser.search.showOneOffButtons=true)

love this addon, thanks for the work!

Perfectly merges the URL and search bar, while maintaining sufficient privacy by allowing the search suggestions only to come up when the engine's keyword is typed. Due to lack of maintenance it has however been falling apart with code syntax in the URL presentation, a browser freezing link to the old search engine management and broken switching to open tabs as of Firefox 47.

Unfortunately, I can confirm the "lock browser" behaviour when trying to manage the engines.
Apart from that, the addon general behaviour is erratic, which is a pity, since I found Foobar a great and indispensable addon for many years.

Please, please, someone fixes it =D

Until then, I think it's better to avoid it, sadly.

Great plug-in. Recommended. Only it stopped working when I upgraded to Firefox version 43.

Hey, in latest Firefoxes there is a first unnecessary line when typing something - moz-action:searchengine,{"engineName":"Google","input":......
That turn this good add-on into rubbish!
Please fix this bug.

I love this addon, works as it claims. But after the new FF 43 Update, I seem to be getting an extra Line when I try searching through the which goes along the lines of

moz-action:searchengine,{"engineName":"Google", "input":"keywordtosearchfor", "searchQuery":"keywordtosearchfor"}

I am sort of guessing the reason from what I see, when I open Firefox without Foobar, It shows another extra line when I search with a keyword, This line used to not be there earlier, and I think that line is causing trouble.

This happens when the Suggestion PopupStyle is Simple. But when it is set to Rich. The Display works like the new FF 43, but when I tried to use the search with a keyword and selected a Suggestion it directly went to my default Search Engine with the following line:

moz-action:searchengine,{"engineName":"Google%20encrypted","input":" .....}

Might Want to fix those issues, which I am guessing is related to the new display of Search Engines in the default firefox.

It works as promised.

Don't get me wrong, I loved having Foobar on my Firefox. That is, until my family (who can't read English) made me switch my FF into a Simplified Chinese localized version. To my horror, Foobar is machine translated... like many unmaintained cheap smartphone apps. Now I won't be able to change the options without switching FF back to the English locale... I know it's out of good intentions but is it possible to not have this localization at all? It's creating more confusion than helping. Or at least provide a way to manually switch between languages.

chromeの標準機能に似たものを探していたんですが。それ以上のものが見つかりました
一度に沢山のサイトで同時に検索出来るのが素晴らしい

I've read on gHacks that "a team of Mozilla engineers is working on a prototype currently that combines the browser's address bar and search bar natively", so I decided to get in the mood with Foobar. I believe I'll be sticking on it, the one bar scheme and the dedicated Foobar. It runs flawlessly here even if I have 2 suggestions.

1- If I'm on a Web site and I perform a search the site's url in the urlbar is removed since the same bar performs all. At this time I have no way of knowing where I am (the site's url) other than reloading the page. If I clear the urlbar's content I recover the 'Go to address or search using [Default search engine]' : it would be nice if Foobar could fit in there and replace the 'Go to...' with the site's address.

2- Foobar's 'Max number of URL suggestions' is limited to 10. The setting in about:config is extensions.foobar.urlsuggestnum and I've tried pushing it up from there to 99. The result is that Foobar's option window still states 10 but in practice the limit has been raised to 15. My wish : set the max to more than 10, more than 15 : with many bookmarks there may be quite often many more than 10/15 results available.

Besides this Foobar is well thought, well built. I appreciate the search engines' keywords added to the engine's list, very useful.

I have problem. Sometimes when I write queries, suggestion list shows up for 1 second and disappears leaving behind only a 1-2px height white line going across the search/address bar. Sometimes it comes back after I write (or delete) another letter. It's random but it happens quite often. Anything I can do about it? Thank you.

Good work but with Firefox 37beta the drop down list of most visited web sites doesn't appear.
Please fix and then is perfect.
Thanks.

FF36, Foobar 2.1.1. I tried recreating a bookmark with keyword as suggested here, http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=2908241&p=14041535. I also always use a space after keywords as suggested in the thread, but neither worked. 2.0.1 still works on FF36 so I'm using it. Bookmark keywords are working with it.
