Please create an option to enable/disable this feature. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Type URL Actual Results: Drop down shows lists in large format Expected Results: option to enable/disable this feature so we can view in small format.
There was a pref to do this, but it was removed, with the comment that such functionality should be done with an extension, not a firefox preference. So I think this bug will be a WONTFIX. See bug 407836 for the removal of the pref.
Version: unspecified → Trunk
The dev created an extension to do this. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/6227

There is also a SUMO article describing how to disable this. http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How+to+disable+the+Smart+Location+Bar
there are clear workarounds, extensions, and config options. so this is going to be wontfixed
