How do I restore "I'm feeling lucky" search to the firefox url bar?
I used to be able to type in the name of a webpage in the firefox url bar, and I would go straight to to the website. For example, I would type in "rotten tomatoes," hit enter, and arrive at www.rottentomatoes.com. Now, instead of going directly to the website, it takes me to a google search page. This used to be set in about:config in keyword.url, but it's not working anymore. I have firefox 27 for windows.

Thank you!
So, this worked on my work computer, but not at home. It's the same version of firefox. At home, I installed keyword hack, but can't find keyword.URL in about:config. Other ideas?
Hmm, create new thread for this issue, More contributors can help!
Okay, I miraculously figured it out on my own. You can add keyword:URL back if it's missing. In case anyone else is having this problem: Go into about:config, right click where it says "preference name", select "new", select "string", for the name type "keyword.URL", for the string use this: http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q=
You also have to have the keyword hack add-on installed or it won't work.
