In FireFox if I used to type BBC in the address bar it would take me to the BBC Homepage. Now however it takes me to a google search.

This was actually one of the main things I used to enjoy about FireFox and if this is yet another thing that has been removed for "improvements" like the status bar was (although its back with an addon) then I guess I will have to either go back to IE or try another browser.

If however there is something I need to do to get it return I will happily do it.

Thank you.

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".

I should have added that I am using the BBC address as an example.
