Because it guesses at which site you're trying to open. So if I want to open e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stargate_Atlantis_(season_5), in Firefox 2 I start typing en.wikipedia.org etc., and the more of the entire url I type, the more likely the top result is the page I'm looking for (as opposed to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wirth's_law or even http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stargate_Atlantis_(season_3) ).
But in Firefox 3, I type wiki 5, and Firefox TOTALLY KNOWS I want http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stargate_Atlantis_(season_5) ! And it gets cleverer the more you use it! It is Awesome, *nods*.
