Extending URL Entry Helper to Firefox

www-what is a new Firefox 1.5 extension. As you are typing a url in the url window it instantly looks it up in our database( over 5 million entries) and shows possible matches, in a pop-up window. You can click on any match or continue typing for better match: http://www.totalrc.net/wwwwhat.xpi

URL Entry Helper

Typing the url into the "Address" field of a browser is arguably one of the slowest experiences in web browsing. Besides being slow it may be painful too: sometimes it is hard to remember whether the site's name is ".net" or ".com", whether it is "system" or "systems", etc. We decided to take care of this problem in our virtual browser (more details here...). Using Ajax and back-end database storing about 5 million popular web urls we display a dropdown box with first 10 matches of what you type in the url window as you keep typing. Give it a try and enjoy the convenience: http://www.totalrc.net/browser.html .
