Automatic Page Lookup
In the old Firefox 3, when I typed "facebook" into the adressbar it automaticly redirected me to facebook.com.
Or when I typed "wiki football" it got me to the wikipedia entry for football.
I miss this feature in Firefox 4. Now it just always get's me to the google page with the search results. How can I reactivate the old way ?
Cheers

Type about:config in the adress bar and filter for keyword.url and change the value to
http://www.google.com/search?btnI=I%27m+Feeling+Lucky&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=
Cheerio
There is a change in Firefox 4 in how Location bar search works.
- In Firefox 3.6.x, Location bar search uses Google "Browse by name" search. With the browse by name search, it performs a Google search and
- if there is a clear match it will take you to the site
- otherwise it shows the Google search result page
- Firefox 4's default is
- to perform a Google search and present the Google search results page if you type something which is not recognized as a URL
- you must type a complete URL, such as www.youtube.com , to go directly to the site
To get the Firefox 3.6.x behavior in Firefox 4. you need to change a hidden preference.
- Type about:config into the location bar and press the Enter key
- If you see a warning, zccept it (promise to be careful)
- A list of preferences will open
- Filter = keyword.URL
- Double-click on that preference in the lower pane
- A small window will appear; copy the line below and paste into the box in that small window (or type it into the box in that window exactly as shown below):
http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q=
