Why doesn't Firefox automatically go anymore to the first google result when we write something in the browser bar?
In the previous versions, when I was writing something like "Heathrow airport" on the browser bar, FIrefox automatically connected to the website of the airport, which is I guess the first result of a google research. Why it doesn't happen anymore? Is it a problem of the new version or is there any setting to change?

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".
- Google "I'm Feeling Lucky": http://www.google.com/search?btnI=I%27m+Feeling+Lucky&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=
- Google "Browse by Name": http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q=
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.

I reinstalled my google toolbar and that took care of the problem.
