Ever made the wee mistake of entering search terms in the address bar instead of in the search bar? Well, if you ever did, then you may have observed that if you did, it’ll re-route the string to be searched in Google via the “I’m feeling lucky” option. This would then display that page.

But you can actually modify this Firefox behavior so that it’d just display Google search results. To do this:

  • Access the about:config page.
  • Find the keyword.URL preference name
  • Double-click on it to change the string value to http://www.google.com/search?&q=
  • Click OK and close the about:config page/tab
  • The changes take effect instantly
