how can I load an URL without going through a search engine?
I used to be able to enter an URL and go to the web site. Now I have to go through a search engine. This changed on the last update. How do I go back to the ability to enter the URL and go to the web site directly?

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=
