Firefox 3 is already released at RC2 on yesterday. Out of all the new features that I love in Firefox 3, there’s one particular enhancement that I’ve been repeatedly showing off my friends around It’s just too useful that I need to make some buzzes about it :p

Take a look at the above screen shot (you may click to enlarge the image). Do you notice how different am I searching for my web history?

Prior to Firefox 3, or in Internet Explorer and Safari, these are how we can locate a web page that we’ve visited before:

1. Recall how the URL pattern is prefixed
2. Look in bookmarks if we’ve bookmarked the page
3. Look through the lengthy list web history

But now, with Firefox 3, we can type in the keywords of web page title in the location bar, and it will return me a list of matches! In order words, we can search for our web history and bookmarks right at the convenience of location bar.

In this example as shown in the above screen shot, I’m looking for the Firefox 3 release candidate download page. However, I didn’t bookmark the page, and I can’t recall the URL pattern. All I can remember, the page is about release candidate.

So, what I did, was to type in “release can” in the location bar, and let it returns me the matches. Deng deng deng deng~~~ at minimal efforts, I’m able to relocate web pages that I’ve visited earlier.

At present, Firefox 3 is still at release candidate stage; in layman term, it simply means that this version is meant for public testing. If you don’t mind losing some plugins and you can’t wait for the first official baselined release of Firefox 3 (just like me), then you may download to try out Firefox 3 RC2.
