Hello there !! Firefox is one of my favorite browser alongside Chrome and it really annoys one when you get used to one feature of a tool and couldn't find it in the other. Today I was wandering about how can I get the same feature of Google search right from the address bar just like Chrome. Now googling has become the most performed task by any engineer in a day and if it takes to open the homepage again and again it really becomes ridiculous. So here I got a solution which serves the same way as Chrome does.
Step by Step Procedure :
Step 1:
Go to the address bar of Firefox and type about:config. It gives a warning which you have to allow. Press the button saying " I'll be careful, I promise ! ".
Step 2:
In the search bar of the page type in keyword.URL . This brings you to only one option.
Step 3:
Right Click on the available option and click Modify. Then in the pop-up window paste the following
http://www.google.com/search?btnG=Google+Search&q=
Then press OK.
That's it. You are done. Yes it was that simple. Now open a new tab and test your new feature.
Note:
One problem I had with this feature is that the search fails for a single word. I am trying to figure it out. But it works simply well with more than one keyword.
Happy Googling !!!
