I have downloaded the newest version of Firefox for windows 7 since I had to reinstall my laptop. Now however if I type in a company name or a site like hotmail or ebay without the .com extention it will go to google as if it was a search order. The past version installed on my laptop would automatically send me to the website of hotmail of ebay or any other page I typed.

Where can I find that function again it was really great!

Thanks for helping in advance.

Firefox 4.0 doesn't have the Google I'm feeling lucky search in the URL bar as previous versions did.
