See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Location_Bar_search Check the pref keyword~46~URL on the about:config page: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Keyword%2eURL
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the Enter key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.
