Using tab key to select URL in address bar?

Using tab key to select URL in address bar? I use Firefox 3.x for much of my browsing and I constantly use the tab key (easy to hit) to select from my address history. When I use Opera, tab takes me to the Search box, which of course makes perfect sense. I could try to undo years of training and use down-arrow but first I thought that I see if Opera is secretly configurable.

"In Opera:

choose Tools from the menu
and then Preferences.
Now goto Shortcuts and
highlight your current keyboard setup in the lower box.
Next, click on Edit....
Now unfold the Advanced item (last one in the list)
and then the Address dropdown Widget item (again the last one).
Now find the entry for ""Next item""
and double-click on the right part where it should currently say ""Down"".
Replace ""Down"" with ""Tab"" and you're set."
