Firefox bookmark keywords for quick search

Add keywords for quick search on frequently visited sites. For example, it’s so convenient to simply put m car on the search bar and go directly to the definition on Merriam-Webster.

Disable search from the address bar in Firefox

I don’t like it when Firefox automatically searches for a mistyped URL. I’d rather use a search engine shortcut to explicitly search for something.

  1. Go to about:config
  2. Turn off keyword.enabled

Disable Website translation

Switch browser.translations.automaticallyPopup in about:config.

Use search engine shortcuts in Firefox

Vimium: open links on new tabs by default

The following mappings will do the trick:

map f LinkHints.activateModeToOpenInNewTab
map F LinkHints.activateMode
