Firefox 4 Beta – Search From URL Bar

By default, the ability to search from the "awesome bar" in previous versions of Firefox no longer exists. Sometimes it's nice just to type "amazon" instead of "amazon.co.uk", but in Firefox 4 Beta this will simply direct you to a Google search for "amazon".

To get the old functionality back, type about:config into the location bar and press enter. Once you click through the stuff about voiding your warranty, enter keyword in the Filter box. Almost there! Just double-click the entry for keyword.URL and paste this in:
http://www.google.co.uk/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q=

Job done.
