I used to be able to type a word or title in the Mozilla address bar and get directly to a website this way. Now it only sends me to "Ask.com" to search again. Is this a trojan or a settings problem?

For instance, I could type B & N into the address bar and it would send me automatically to the Barnes & Noble website.

It has been this way for a while now, but I recently downloaded and upgraded to 3.6 - in the hopes that this would magically go away. It hasn't. Help? Thanks!
