nonsense url takes Firefox to Google

more options

Typing nonsense in the URL field will take Firefox to a Google "can't find" page. This happens even with Google removed from the list of search engines in the Search field, and even with the Search field removed from the toolbar. How can I prevent Firefox from connecting to Google (or any other site) automatically, regardless of text entry anywhere?
