When I first installed Firefox 3.0.1, I was really annoyed by the new “AwesomeBar”, which insisted on dredging through my bookmarks instead of just looking through the history as I was used to. I installed the HideUnvisited extension and forgot about it, until today. Today I finally realised that the reason Firefox had been running sluggishly recently was because it was still searching all those links, and HideUnvisited had just hidden the unwanted action, not stopped it.
Is there any way to keep links close at hand for me without Firefox taking that as permission to waste massive amounts of time looking through them?
