Firefox used to be good, but with 10, you've screwed up. I used to be able to type "Deviantart," "woot," "facebook," and other keywords that would take me right to the specific website. Now, such keywords take me to Mozilla's DeviantArt page, a woot add-on for firefox, and a facebook add-on to firefox. How can I get Firefox to take me to the specific website when I type a keyword?

You can modify the pref keyword.URL on the about:config page to use Google's "I'm Feeling Lucky" or Google's "Browse By Name".

You can disable keyword search by setting the keyword.enabled pref to false on the about:config page.
