I used to be able to type a word in the location (or address) bar and I would get directed to the best website that google could think of. If I typed "dogs" in there and hit enter I would go to the dog page of wikipedia. If I type "hotmail", I'll get sent to hotmail.com. This is not happening anymore. Now I just get the google search results of the keyword I entered. I've tried going to about:config and making sure the keyword.url is at default and I've tried different things with the browser.fixup stuff, but nothing works. This all happened when I upgraded firefox too, so I think that is the problem. What can I do to fix it and get it back?

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".
