Firefox 3.5 already does it

so I installed firefox 3.5 and typed in

youtube.com [tab]

and it moved to a favourite

so I tried

youtube.com [space] postman

and instead of searching you tube it just brought up the first result.

Doesnt seem quite that good really but Im sure theyll copy it for firefox 5

But you said firefox 3.5 does it.
I tried it - it doesnt.

Now youre telling me I need 200 addons and it might do it in 3.6 ?

So what youre saying is, when you said "firefox 3.5 does it", you actually meant it doesnt.

No addon for it but it does it for me.

Postbox!
BRILLIANT email client!

Not a dig, but really just get a gmail account and be done.
Best search, great interface and its available anywhere. My G1 auto syncs with it.

Nothing on postbox, all google stuff integrated including calendar with the addon.
Postbox is not a hosting it is a client app for your email.
Gmail does nothing what this does and this can integrate with it all.
The indexing, searching, contacts, to dos.... WAY better then trying to use the google web interface.

Gmail has great functionality, use that but never touch the interface, hard to navigate, poor design, same with most of the google stuff online. The web stuff use for when launching sites etc is a right pain in the ass to use. Never would use the calendar directly either, Ical or other apps.

Nothing wrong with how gmail and like work but it is the same as twitter. If your trying to use twitter through the website - CRAP. Get an app using all the API ETC that has been well made and its 10 times better.
All down to preference of course, you like what you like to use but postbox has done nothing short of impressed me. Compared to other email clients I have used it is great.

I think the gmail interface is superb. Quick, easy to use. I can have it open on multiple pcs and its on my phone and theyre always in 100% sync.

Being on your phone and syncing again is not to do with the interface but the API and data access - which is great but nothing special Sam.  Do things properly and most thngs 100% sync. Folk with blackberrys been doing it well for ages before others got their act together.

Err, it goes to google on mine and comes up with youtube, Postman Pat intro song.

If I just type youtube then it goes to youtube

As I said it does not just directly do what chrome 3.0 has. It will go to bookmarks then history but if you tab again it will say youtube in the url only and then you can type your search an it will search. It will then try and use the search on the site and if there is not one it will fall back with its interpretation.
future Updates will direct to google and have direct google search in the address bar when they losse the search field. They can do that when it becomes smarter in 3.6 and above. you will be able to type wiki something and will search wikipedia for that. location 23 george street will get an in page drop down with map that can move around etc.

Some cool stuff. They like everyone else now are looking at multiple processes for their browser. Unlike chrome which has a process for each tab which handles the rendering, the web, and the back end for each Mozilla are looking to run each of these elements as processes and be smart in regard to tabs. If Firefox has a rendering crash it will just auto refresh and not even show you an error and still look to be running. Mozilla are aiming for a lot more self recovery with less pop ups and less user input to sort the issues out.
Safari is also working on similar, Opera 10 has some of this already....

They are also working on a smart launch page taking what chrome and safari has further with customisation options to hold twitter feed, facebook feed, search... etc. Bit like a google apps landing page..

Really is some good working being done on browsers with everyone taking leafs out of everyone else but Firefox for me has the most going for it now and in the future. By 4 it is going to me stacks ahead of the others in my opinion followed by safari in terms of the cool features but safari still has the odd font rendering and other issues that are apple based and will always be there so still wont be adopted much. I can see chrome being number 3 after firefox and IE and in terms of web geeks and like number 2 after firefox.

I really feel there wont be an opera 11 as well tbh or 12.
