I hate Safari's address bar. One visit to a mistyped address can ruin your suggestions forever, that typoed URL will be always preferred over the correct one.

Firefox's address bar is indeed great. Always works flawlessly.

You can delete the offending URLs from Safari’s history and they won’t show up in the suggestions anymore. I only found that out while experimenting after years of frustration. In a perfect world, of course, such features would have a small UI affordance like a context menu entry for the address bar.

That woud be nice. Or respond to the Delete key. I tried pressing that, Option-Delete, Shift-Delete, and by then I'd spent more time than it would have taken to move the highlight onto the row I wanted. (>.<)

This was my biggest gripe when I used a MacBook 6 years ago. You’re telling me this issue still persists in current versions of Safari? Ridiculous.
