Background
The pref browser.urlbar.matchOnlyTyped is no longer supported in Firefox 3.5 and SeaMonkey 2 and has been replaced by browser.urlbar.default.behavior.
This pref makes it possible to customize the search behavior of the location bar.
The decimal value of this preference should be seen as a bitmap of 6 bits. If a bit in that bitmap is 1 then the corresponding filter will be applied.
There are restrict filters (0:History, 1:Bookmarks, 2:Tags, 5:Typed) and match filters (3:Title, 4:URL).
Quote from "defaults\prefs\firefox.js": The default behavior for the urlbar can be configured to use any combination of the restrict or match filters with each additional filter restricting.
Possible values and their effects
Add up the following values to set the behavior as the default (i.e 17=History+match URL; 49=History+match URL+Typed):
1
Restrict: History
2
Restrict: Bookmarks
4
Restrict: Tags
8
Match: Title
16
Match: URL
32
Restrict: Typed
UI
Firefox
Tools -> Options -> Privacy -> Location Bar
