Display Colored URLs in Firefox 3 Awesome Bar


The Firefox 3 Location Bar which is also known as the Awesome Bar displays different kinds of data. One user complaint is that one cannot visually distinguish the data. The user -=Ben=- created a style to display different colors depending on the type of data that is displayed in a line. Basically tags are displayed in light yellow, bookmarks in blue and history items in light green after installing that user style in Firefox.

This does work pretty well in conjunction with the Cybersearch add-on by Ryan from Cybernetnews that displays search results on a white background. All in all you got three or four background colors instead of just one which is great for distinguishing results on the first glance.

The easiest way to install this style is by installing the Stylish add-on first and then that new user style.

The colors of the style can be easily changed if you edit the style in the extension’s options. Just right-click on the icon of the add-on and select Manage Styles. Then select the user style and click on Edit to edit it.
