I have downloaded Firefox Version 30 and set up my company proxy. I use the address bar to search at google. Since I have configured the proxy I'm not able to search for only one word like 'fibonacci', if I search for 'fibonacci number' it still works.

What's wrong?

Many thanks.

Cheers!

You can use a keyword search to search via the location bar if the proxy doesn't report that a DNS look up has failed and Firefox thus doesn't send a search request. You can add a keyword to an installed search engine via Manage Search Engines if you click the search engines icon on the search bar.
