The Mozilla Firefox web browser address bar so far, when deployed, took up the entire width of the interface and basically shows the URLs you previously accessed or search terms used. However, we did not find any additional information. This appears to have an expiration date as Firefox introduces a new Megabar address bar..
This Megabar when deployed will only occupy the width of the address bar before being deployed. In addition, apart from being somewhat more concise and in accordance with the browser interface, it will also display additional information such as if it is a website saved in favorites, etc.
The new Megabar taskbar interface works as a drop-down menu that appears as soon as the user begins typing in the Mozilla Firefox browser's address bar..
The detail about this Megabar is that its activation cannot be done from the Firefox browser settings, but you will have to do it through the "about: config” section. Having said that, next we want to show you step by step how to activate the new Megabar in Firefox:
