in Firefox 3, if I typed something into the address bar, it took me directly to the website. Now, however, it takes me to ask.com. I don't like that at all. Does anyone know how to change that?
For example, if I type "Google" in the new so-called "Awesome Bar", it searches "Google" on Ask.com. I hate that! Firefox 3 didn't have that. You typed something in the address bar, and if it was an actual website, it would open automatically. So, if there's any way of fixing that, can you tell me how?

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=
