Background

In Firefox 3, the Location Bar received a number of improvements. Among those improvements was the move to a XUL richlistbox widget for the auto-complete dropdown.

For performance reasons, items that appear in the dropdown are retrieved in batches (â€œchunksâ€) on a timer. This preference determines the number of items to fetch at a time.
