Once upon a time, we could click an arrow in the address bar and see a list of our most visited sites.

How do we restore that functionality? Unlike the average modern internet user, I actually use more than just 5 sites pretty frequently.

Before “designers” were unleashed onto the world, we had the ability to scroll the list in the address bar so we rarely if ever have to type when it’s a site we frequently visit.

Fast-forward to 10 years ago, and the hip/cool thing was apparently to remove as much functionality as possible if a certain competing browser did not support it.

I would like to move away from this “trend” of having to remember and type things out when in the past we had computers to do it for us.

In that effort, how can I restore the “old” (but better!) functionality of the firefox address bar? I don’t need to see “recent searches,” as I’ve legitimately never clicked on any of them. I just want the plain, simple, straightforward, functional dropdown menu back that our ancestors were able to use.
