I would like to know the specific name for the bar where you type the internet addresses. Also, what do you call the list that opens down when you type something that you've already visted in the bar? Thanks.
Does anyone know what the internet url bar is called?

In summary, the conversation discusses the various names for the bar where internet addresses are typed, such as address bar, navigation bar, and location bar. The second part of the conversation mentions a list that opens when typing a previously visited site, which is referred to as history or browsing history. One person jokingly mentions the Snickers bar, which leads to a brief tangent. The conversation ends with someone expressing gratitude and a whimsical song about Snickers.

On my explorer it's called the navigation bar, but I suppose it might be called something else.
I have no idea bout the drop down part, the history drop down? I have mine set to clear all information as soon as the explorer is closed, so I've never really used it.

I've always called it the address bar myself, but in Firefox, it's called the navigation toolbar. I do not know the name of the second thing you wanted though, sorry. I call that the recent website list.

Wikipedia calls it "URL Bar" but also recognizes the names location/address bar.

Sorry.
Snickers is a product of Mars inc. It is not a search engine; rather, it is a chocolate and nougat snack food product. It has nothing to do with this thread, but it sounded very witty to me at the time, and I compulsively struck the keyboard with my whimsy.
I'll go now.
