The location bar completion in firefox is a great timesaver, but it
relies on the history which, unlike del.icio.us bookmarks, isn't shared
across browsers. del.icio.us bookmarks should definitely be there,
because they have already been visited and were deemed important.

What about adding del.icio.us bookmarks to URL completion? Possibly, by
keeping them in the history? Bonus points for also handling a tag being
typed, and showing the user's related bookmarks.

On a related note, this is the topic of these bugs:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=101642 (mozilla)
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=278747 (firefox)

And there is an extension adding stuff to URL completion here:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2300

But the extension will not Just Work with del.icio.us bookmarks, since
they are separate from normal bookmarks.
