Firefox: If you want to compact your user interface in Firefox and turn your address box into a destination for not just URLs but searches too, Foobar combines the address box and search box into one.
If you often find yourself typing in a search command into the address box when you actually meant to use the little search box off to the side, Foobar is a handy addition to your Firefox arsenal. Install the extension and your address bar becomes a little more spartan, the address box and search box are now one.
URLs typed into the box take you to the site, but anything outside a recognized address like HTTP, FTP, or ABOUT: becomes a search in the selected search engine. In the above screenshot my entry of site:lifehacker.com Firefox will pull up the Google search results for Firefox on Lifehacker.com.
Note: Sharp-eyed readers noticed Foobar is similar to previously mentioned Omnibar—minus the handy shortcut building features in Ombinar. If you want your interface condensing with more kick, you'll want to check it out.
Have a handy Firefox extension—interface-altering or otherwise—to share? Let's hear about it in the comments.
