Hi, the "explainer bar" tells you what Firefox plans to do if you immediately submit the address bar contents (by pressing Enter, for example). That could be to run a search or to visit a URL. There isn't a built-in feature to specifically remove the explainer bar.

Interesting. Thanks.

I am trying to get a my bookmarked link to Outlook. I have it tagged with 2 tags as seen in the attached: hot and out.

If I type "out" in the URL bar, I do not get the "explainer bar" - just the bookmark. And so enter does the trick

But if I type "hot" I get the "explainer bar" and it gets in the way.

I use both out and hot because I was a long-time hotmail user before being forced to use outlook and old habits die hard. So I was hoping I could get the same result with both tags.

Hmm, I'm not sure you can use tags that way. I think they are used for the suggestions further down on the panel. For the explainer bar, out could be giving you your Outlook based on either (A) a keyword or (B) in-URL-bar autofill based on the top level domain of the site.

Unfortunately, the small Edit Bookmark panel doesn't expose the keyword field. If you open the Library window using Manage Bookmarks or Ctrl+Shift+O and select the bookmark on the right side (using the tiny search box in the upper right corner usually is the fastest way to find it), you'll be able to edit the Keyword field at the bottom right. If you assign hot as the keyword for this bookmark, the moment you type the full word hot, the explainer bar should change to Visit your bookmarked URL.

I'm attaching an example of the autofill / search / keyword behavior depending on what Firefox has to match off of when typing abdq.

Thanks very much. I did check that and guess what? The Keyword for this bookmark had "out" in it. This explains why "out" got me the desired results while "hot" did not. And I wasn't aware of it. I guess I will just have to put my hotmail days behind me and learn to always use "out" and not "hot". Best!
