Title: Firefox, URL search & Google
Post by: Ben on 2010.07.04, 19:40:54
I have been checking out Firefox 3.7a-pre.

I do not know if this is unique to this version, but whenever I type non-URL text into the URL window it automatically does a Google search.

This is highly undesirable.

I have adjusted the search engine settings, but nothing seems to be able to turn this "feature", -ha!- off.

Is anyone familiar with this?

Does anyone know how to disable it?

Thank-you.
