Am I missing something here? There is no article just a download link correct?
I use Firefox exclusively because of the sidebar tab extension and will probably use it until Firefox dies a slow death.

In Firefox, go to Preferences -> Search and click on "Add search bar in toolbar". Also uncheck "Show search suggestions in address bar results".
Then ctrl-l will only autocomplete URLs and ctrl-k will search. Once you're in the search box, press TAB to cycle through your search providers. You can add additional search providers easily.

I didn't think about adding sites like rubygems and mdn, but that's a good idea.
Edit: I just tried it and it works. Example: create a bookmark in Firefox and change the URL to the one below. Set the keyword to "r" in the bookmarks editor. Then you can type `r devise` in the address bar to search rubygems.
https://rubygems.org/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&query=%S? - default search engine
w - wikipedia
t - dictionary
y - youtube
d - duckduckgo
I've switched to DuckDuckGo, and using their ! operators (!w for Wikipedia, !map for Google Maps) picks up most of the slack.
Maybe we can get the black bar up too ;)
> Switching to Firefox is fast, easy and risk-free. Firefox imports your bookmarks, autofills, passwords and preferences from Chrome.
1. Select what to take from Chrome.
2. Let Firefox do the rest.
3. Enjoy the web faster, all set up for you.
Edit: This page (https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/download/) is the firefox download page. The article linked (https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/switch/) is not that page, it's a page specifically explaining the [trivial] process of switching from Chrome. It also happens to have a download link.
