Stage 1: Definition

1. Feature overview

How amazing would it be if you made the firefox address bar into ubiquity. Not only could I go directly to web pages, but do all sort of searches as well as highlight information on any page and do stuff with it in the address bar. The Smart Location Bar is great but this would make it amazing. Also you would not really need the search box anymore because you would be able to do the searches directly from the address bar.

When my family types poll in the address bar, they see my porn, because they write p. Same with soul, sex, s and x-ray, xxx, x. When Firefox upgraded from 2 to 3, many people choose to use fx 2, because fx 3's awesomebar was actually notawesome.
