My address bar won't search for anything, redirects it?
I usually use my address bar to search for things instead of the smaller search bar on the side, but the past couple of days, it hasn't been searching. It redirects me to a search engine through my internet provider instead (when i type in help: http://www.dnsrsearch.com/index.php?origURL=http%3A//help/&r= ). I have the newest version of Firefox and it does not have the keyword.url option in about:config, which worked for me when I had the older version and this happened. I got the "keyword.url hack" add-on, but that didn't even make it show up. Then I reinstalled Firefox thinking that would help, but no luck. I don't know what to try. Has anyone else had this issue and fixed it?

You may have an ISP that automatically redirects you to a search page if a DNS look up fails.
That takes the control from Firefox to do the normal keyword search like a Google I'm Lucky search.
In such cases you need to contact your ISP and ask for a DNS server to opt-out of that feature.
You can also check if there is a link on the search results page to go to your ISP and opt-out.
You can also consider to use anther DNS server.
