   7 # Handy standard Firefox features
   8
   9 One of VimFx’s key features is embracing standard Firefox features. That is
  10 preferred over re-implementing similar functionality.
  11
  12 This section lists a few handy such standard features.

  15 ## The Address Bar
  16
  17 Firefox’s Address Bar is sometimes called the “Awesomebar” because it is so
  18 powerful. Other than simply entering URLs, you can also use it to:
  19
  20 - Search through bookmarks.
  21 - Search through history.
  22 - Search through open tabs.
  23 - Search using search engines.
  24
  25 Type a lone `*` to restrict the results to bookmarks only. Use `<c-enter>` to
  26 open results in new tabs. There are [plenty more such tricks][location-bar].
