About:config does not launch, instead it searches the web.

URL of affected sites

about:config

Hi Stephen, Make sure you enter about:config with no capitalization.

It looks like you are running an add-on called Ant Toolbar (it is in your user agent above).

If you close Firefox, then start Firefox in Safe Mode, does the problem still occur? For instructions on starting in Safe Mode, see Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode.

Make sure that you have the location bar visible and not only the Google search bar.
