How to lock the first suggestion on the address bar

Question

I recently had to do a clean reinstall of Firefox so I lost my history. I was accustomed to just typing "f" and getting Facebook as my first suggest site. Now it's the second choice, and I don't know how to move it back up to the first. Is there any way to manually adjust the "suggested site" feature of Firefox?

Answer 1

In your case, I think a better solution would be use a bookmark keyword.

Setup:

1. Bookmark a location.

   

2. Open the Library (Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks)

   

3. Find the bookmark.

   Note: If you did not pick a folder for the bookmark, the default folder is Unsorted Bookmarks.

   

4. Select the bookmark and click More to show the Keyword field. Now, enter a keyword of one or more characters.

   

5. Close the Library

Example:

Now you can quickly load a location (regardless of history) by just typing a keyword!

Tip 1: You can press Enter immediately after typing a keyword to launch it's location. Normally, you would have to press Down first to select a location.

Tip 2: Pressing Alt+Enter will avoid the Switch to tab behavior, if the location is already open in a different tab. This applies to the address bar in general.

With the cursor hovering over the site in the drop down list, simply press the delete key to remove the suggested site
