User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X 10.4; fr; rv:1.9.2.9) Gecko/20100824 Firefox/3.6.9 Build Identifier: Select the first item of the location/awersome bar to allow hiting Enter on keyboard directly. This should be the behavior at least until bug 566489 land. As it seams to me lagging, I beleve that implementing this could be easier (and done in time for Fx4) Reproducible: Always Actual Results: 1.type in location bar to go to a web site 2.hit the down arrow of the keyboard 3.hit Enter on the keyboard Expected Results: 1.type in location bar to go to a web site 2.hit Enter on the keyboard

If not blockink the release of Fx4, could it be tag as wanted 4.0, or final, ... ?

I am not sure if a bug was filed on this, but Mardak implemented this functionality in "Enter Selects" extension. https://addons.mozilla.org/addon/7423/

This isn't really what we want to do, we prefer supporting autocomplete instead, so the people that "speak URL" get a good solution too. See bug 566489 for tracking this.

Ok, but if the new smart autocomplete (bug 566489) is disable (by pref) or escaped (by key "Esc"), then the fist item of the location bar should be selected (aka : this bug should be the normal behavior) ;-) In this way it's good an fast for URL and non-URL speakers ;-) Safari is doing this : - Showing results with the first item selected - User press Esc - Showing autocomplete of URL

As per Limi, I think this is WONTFIX. I agree with that conclusion.

Not blocking.

enh request, no reason to stay unconfirmed.

Mass bug change to replace various 'parity' whiteboard flags with the new canonical keywords. (See bug 1443764 comment 13.)
