Keyword.url + Browse By Name is broken in FF23

My Mac's Firefox is notifying me that it wants to be updated to v23. But the keyword url string breaks in FF23 on Windows and as I use both mac and Pc, I need it to work on both every time.
Keyword.url and Google's Browse By Name is how I use the internet, it's not a feature, it's a requirement.
What can be done to resolve this?
Thanks!

Its... close but not completely solved yet.
keyword search only works for one word which is only half of what I do.
I need multi-word browse by name.

I can temporarily set my Internet keyword search service to Google's Browse by Name service, but how can I make that setting permanent?

I'm using Firefox 5.0. In about:config, keyword.enabled is set to "true," but keyword.URL is set to chrome://browser-region/locale/region.properties I can modify it to http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=utf-8&q= but when I exit and then restart Firefox, the keyword.URL is back the way it was. How do I permanently fix this? With keyword.URL set to chrome://browser-region/locale/region.properties, if I attempt an Internet keyword search, I get the error message, "File not found. Firefox can't find the file at jar:file:///C:/Program Files/Mozilla Firefox/omni.jar!/chrome/en-US/locale/browser-region"

I set the keyword.URL preference to the Google Search-by-Name URL, changed to the default theme, and then restarted in Safe Mode with add-ons disabled. When I then checked keyword.URL, it had changed back to the "chrome:" setting.
I set keyword.URL again and then disabled all plug-ins, exited Firefox normally, and restarted in Normal Mode. Again, keyword.URL had reverted to the "chrome:" setting.
I then reset keyword.URL, left all the plug-ins disabled, and restarted in Safe Mode. Once again, keyword.URL had reverted to the "chrome:" setting.
Sorry to be so clueless, cor-el, but I'm afraid I don't know what a locale is. I tried to read your link to mozillaZine, but it kept timing out after 30 seconds. Is that because of too much volume? So are you saying that my current locale is supposed to reset the keyword.URL preference from the "chrome:" setting to some valid value, but that isn't happening? What else could cause this besides a bad extension, theme, or plug-in?

When I try to change the keyword.url settings in about:config to do a "I'm Felling Lucky" Google search, it just resets to chrome://browser-region/locale/region.properties whenever I restart Firefox.

I just installed Firefox 4 today. When I try to change the keyword.url settings in about:config to do a "I'm Felling Lucky" Google search, it just resets to chrome://browser-region/locale/region.properties whenever I restart Firefox.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

Yahoo is the default autosearch from address bar, despite altering about:config and keyword.URL

== Issue
==
I have another kind of problem with Firefox
== Description
==
The name says it all. Keyword.URL is set to default, "http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q="
It brings me to a Yahoo results page when I type a Non-URL into the addressbar.
"http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=searchterm&fr=greentree_ff1&ei=utf-8&type=374563"
How can I set it back to Google's "I'm feeling lucky" default?
== This happened
==
Every time Firefox opened
== Recently, no new addons however.

Single word search - Firefox tries first DNS looup even though the word does not look like a valid URL (browser.fixup... is disabled).

When I enter a correct domain name in the location bar, it is resolved without any problems ("domain.com"). When I enter multiple words, not constituting a valid domain ("some domain"), it is automatically searched in my preferred search engine. If I enter a single word ("domain"), which is _not_ a valid domain, Firefox still attempts to first resolve it (which takes about 15 seconds).
Is there a way to disable or fix this behavior?
browser.fixup.alternate.enabled;false
browser.safebrowsing.remoteLookups;false
keyword.URL;http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=

It maybe better to use a (one letter) keyword bookmark if you want to do searches via the location bar. It is always possible that you want to access a local site without a TLD appended and in such cases you need to do a DNS look up.

What was the reason for disabling the 'Browse by name' service in Firefox 4 & 5 ?

It worked in Firefox 3. How do you enable the British version ie '.co.uk' ?

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.co.uk/search?btnI=I%27m+Feeling+Lucky&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=

Keyword.url gets changed to slirsredirect

Some process is changing keyword.url in about:config to the following URL....
http://slirsredirect.search.aol.com/slirs_http/sredir?sredir=2685&invocationType=tb50ffwinampab&query=
I've tried uninstalling WinAmp, but the issue is not resolved.
I can browse the internet fine - problem is I want to customize keyword.URL with a different URL. Every time i quit firefox and restart it, the slirsredirect URL reappears in keyword.url .
please assist.
thanks,
Harry

To revert to Google as your preferred search engine, please do the following. 
* In the location bar, type '''about:config''' and hit Enter. 
* In the filter at the top, type: '''keyword.URL''' 
* Double click it and remove whatever's in there and replace it with http://www.google.com/search?q= 
The URL to add in "keyword.URL" becomes a link in this post, so right click it and choose "Copy Link Location" to copy it to the Windows clipboard. Then hit CTRL+V to paste it. Saves you having to type the whole thing.
'''To reset your home page, do the following'''. 
* Go to the site you want to set as your homepage. 
* Click the orange Firefox button and go to '''Options '''| '''Options '''| '''General''' 
* Make sure it says "''Show My Homepage''" in the first dropdown menu. 
* Click the button called "'''Use Current Pages'''" to set the homepage to the one you have on the screen. 
After you complete the above steps, install this add-on to prevent another search engine from modifying your preferences: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/browserprotect/

Keyword.URL settings not saving

The keyword.URL setting in about config resets itself upon firefox 4.10b restart. It goes to a file in a chrome url.

chrome://browser-region/locale/region.properties is the default for complex prefs that are installation depended. You shouldn't see such values on the about:config page, but see the locale setting of the pref instead. The pref keyword.URL is an empty string in current Firefox 4 releases.
Are you using the default theme (Tools > Add-ons > Themes)? 
Which Firefox locale do you have installed?
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Keyword.url set to google, being hijacked by Yahoo anyway

I have checked repeatedly that my keyword search is set to the Google string, but it STILL diverts me to a Yahoo search if I type into the address bar. I hate Yahoo and its entire slow, ugly, buggy garbage of an empire, how can I make it go away?
Also, GetBetterLinks is trash adware, please stop putting crap I have to delete on my computer, mmk?

I set the keyword.URL preference to the Google Search-by-Name URL, changed to the default theme, and then restarted in Safe Mode with add-ons disabled. When I then checked keyword.URL, it had changed back to the "chrome:" setting.
I set keyword.URL again and then disabled all plug-ins, exited Firefox normally, and restarted in Normal Mode. Again, keyword.URL had reverted to the "chrome:" setting.
I then reset keyword.URL, left all the plug-ins disabled, and restarted in Safe Mode. Once again, keyword.URL had reverted to the "chrome:" setting.
Sorry to be so clueless, cor-el, but I'm afraid I don't know what a locale is. I tried to read your link to mozillaZine, but it kept timing out after 30 seconds. Is that because of too much volume? So are you saying that my current locale is supposed to reset the keyword.URL preference from the "chrome:" setting to some valid value, but that isn't happening? What else could cause this besides a bad extension, theme, or plug-in?

I changed the "keyword url" setting in about:config to allow it to be used as a google search box, but when I exit and restart firefox it reverts to its previous setting.

chrome://browser-region/locale/region.properties
This is the URL that is in "keyword:URL" in about:config in my Firefox 4. I attempted to change it to http://www.google.ie/search?q= so as to use the address bar as a search bar. It works fine while Firefox remains open, but when I exit and come back later to open Firefox and use the address bar for search items I find that it has reverted to the default setting.
Can you please help me resolve this issue?
Thanks

The Keyword.URL function keeps resetting to a different value.

I just downloaded Firefox 4, and normally what I would in Firefox 3.6, I would type a keyword in the URL bar. And it comes up saying that I'm searching using:
jar:file:///C:/Program Files (x86)/Mozilla Firefox/omni.jar!/chrome/en-US/locale/browser-region/region.properties
I don't know where that came from, so I opened about:config, went to keyword.URL and switched to Google.
Okay, it works now. I exit it, and I later on opened it back up. I put in a word again. The same thing came up from when I started:
jar:file:///C:/Program Files (x86)/Mozilla Firefox/omni.jar!/chrome/en-US/locale/browser-region/region.properties
I try fixing it again. It works now.
It seems the problem is the keyword.URL value keeps resetting, but I don't know how it got "jar:file:///C:/Program Files (x86)/Mozilla Firefox/omni.jar!/chrome/en-US/locale/browser-region/region.properties" to appear on it.
So, is this just a bug on Firefox 4, or am I just the only one experiencing it? And if so, how can I solve this problem?
I know I have like two other search engines available for use on my browser, but I mostly use the URL bar to search. Any solutions?

How can we get someone from Mozilla to correctly answer these questions instead of people like us? No offence, but there are different answers to this question all over the net and none of them are right. It is frustrating enough at time to drop Firefox altogether.

I've edited the Keyword URL so it shouldn't be Google doing autocomplete in the Location Bar but it still is. How do I stop Google dominating my searches?

At first when I made the change it did go to the alternative search engine that I had under Keyword URL & it is still set as that (I've checked) yet when I type in website such as wikipedia & hit return its found & brought to me by Google. Note this is a location bar not search box issue.

Search Engine keyword.url, URL

How would I figure out what the search engine's URL is if I wanted to add it to the keyword.url? I know the main search engine's URL's for keyword.url, but what if I wanted to use another search engine in the awesome bar that isn't popular?

You can right-click the search bar on the page and use add a keyword for this search to create a bookmark for that particular search engine to see its URL.
Then you can use that URL without the %s parameter for the keyword.URL pref (reorder the GET parameter is the query parameter is not the last).
