Yeah, super Handy, thanks! Go button was really frustrating me. Now if I can only remove that new wikisearch google through up, thats my new most hated unwanted upgrade.

When I select a site from the dropdown, I have to push enter or Go. It used to load automatically in FF1.
Any ideas?

You’re 2 for 2 in publishing Fx2 about:config entries I worked on! Keep going!

Great! Now if one could just find the “hideSearchGoButton” configuration…

Unfortunately, those of us who want to move it instead of remove it need an extension to do the job.

The “go” button never made much sense to me since you already have your fingers on the keyboard when typing the address and you can just as well hit the Enter button then. But apparently, some people are lost without it, so I guess it’s good to have it there as a default.

Thanks for mentioning how to get rid of it
