I have recently had my laptop fixed, and have been reinstalling all of my add-ons and changing the settings to how I would like them. I have changed my broadband provider to TalkTalk during this time. Anyway, I cannot seem to find a way to use the URL bar as a search bar, and a TalkTalk "cannot find ..." page appears. I have looked at other solutions and my about:config settings all appear to be how they should for it to work properly. This problem still occurs with add-ons disabled.

keyword.enabled is set to 'true' browser.search.defaultenginename is deafault with Google

Example: http://error.talktalk.co.uk/main?InterceptSource=0&ClientLocation=uk&ParticipantID=nmum6rqpq5q6gkm3933n3nf9s76onu6r&FailureMode=1&SearchQuery=&FailedURI=http%3A%2F%2Ftalktalk%2F&AddInType=4&Version=2.1.8-1.90base&Referer=&Implementation=0

Thanks in advance

You may have an ISP that automatically redirects you to a search page if a DNS look up fails. This takes the control from Firefox to do a search. You can contact your ISP and ask for a DNS server to opt-out of that feature. You can check if there is a link on the search results page to go to your ISP and opt-out. You can set different DNS servers.
