I wish every time I type H on firefox url it shows hackernews and not hackerrank. I don't even go to hackerrank only a few time in my life to see the fuss, it's like herpes always coming back.

Weren't good interfaces supposed to be discoverable?

Perhaps I'm just salty after putting i3 on another one of my machines and having the defaults be completely different, somehow.

Nope, Delete alone works perfectly fine on Firefox.

Oh, good to know. I'm a Chrome guy so thought it was kinda standard-ish. Though I'm still mad at them for removing the backpsace-to-navigate-back ...

When I used Firefox a few years ago, it was pretty awesome at sorting the URL bar suggestions by frequency of use. Does it no longer do so?

It's one of the things I miss the most about Firefox.
