Stop google results coming up after attempts to use the URL bar!!!
I just installed the latest firefox and am angry. I used to be able to type things into the URL bar and firefox would direct me to the relevant website, no questions asked. I could type, for example, "BBC world news" into the URL bar, and after hitting enter, I'd be at the BBC world news website. Now, typing "bbc world news" in the URL bar gives me GOOGLE RESULTS! Why??? I didn't search Google. What I loved about Firefox was that it could send you to the websites you wanted to go and all you needed to to was type in keywords.... I can't stand going to a search result page for NO REASON. How do I make this work properly, like it used to?

For the "Not Helpful response", note,
When you went directly to a web site, that was also from a Google search, there are three different Google searches listed in the article, and each is described, pick the one you want, I believe all three of them or something similar with Firefox tags has been used by Firefox.

That's interesting I'm almost positive the first answer was previously marked as "Solved" before I wrote the second. Must be new system -- been a lot of things that seem strange. But I guess it also means the owner liked the second answer better, hope it helped the second person as well It is usually impossible for me to determine why something is marked "not helpful" or if that person could be helped as well.
