Typing the complete web address is always a painful task as you might end up making spelling mistakes. URL Keyword Completer is a neat and very effective Firefox Add-on which can auto complete the Firefox address bar using the keyword set for the address. For example, if you use Google very often, you can set the keyword for google.com as ‘g’ and when you type ‘g’ (without quotes) in the address bar and press enter, the add-on with automatically enter the complete address. This can be set for any number of websites, most frequently used sites can be opened this way.
The extension is possible to use also to speed up searching. It is required to only have proper keywords set, for example, keyword “gg” and address “google.com/#q=”. Entering the “gg/searched_term” into location bar will bring you directly onto the page with search results of Google.
Here is a short video of the add-on in action.
