Keyword.url + Browse By Name is broken in FF23
My Mac's Firefox is notifying me that it wants to be updated to v23. But the keyword url string breaks in FF23 on Windows and as I use both mac and Pc, I need it to work on both every time.
Keyword.url and Google's Browse By Name is how I use the internet, it's not a feature, it's a requirement.
What can be done to resolve this?
Thanks!

I use Windows on Mac via botcamp and they use the same router. 've Even put google DNS to test, but persists. If I search for just one word in the address bar it does not search in google the word and FF think I'm typing an address, because that the DNS error. It started from the version of FF23. But in Windows it constinua as it ever was, if I type in the address bar one or two words they search it on google for me.
Hi YanMetal, it's normal to check a single "word" as a domain and then it's normal to search when you get a page not found error (assuming the DNS server returns a 404 error code). Somehow there is a breakdown where yours is not proceeding to that second step. Do you have any add-ons that might be affecting how DNS works?
To test that, you could use Firefox's Safe Mode. That's a standard diagnostic tool to bypass interference by extensions (and some custom settings). More info: Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode.
You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using
Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
In the dialog, click "Start in Safe Mode" (not Reset)
Any difference?
jscher2000 thanks man for trying to help me. I went into safe mode and problem continued anyway.
So I changed the DNS to Google DNS and the problem stopped. I can not explain why it worked, because using the dns of my ISP (the old one), I had no problem with the version of Firefox for Windows, Mac version only
