-- but, in short, go into about:config and set browser.urlbar.maxRichResults to zero (it's the number of items to show in the awesome bar drop down). setting it to zero will still show you ONE, but it's much better than 12. you can also get a FF2 URL bar with the "Oldbar" extension.

even if you keep awesome bar as is, you can prevent it from showing embarassing URLs by not bookmarking them, not tagging them and clearing your history - those are the three places it gets URLs from - if it's not in any of those lists, it can't display it.
