In the earlier version when I typed some phrase in address bar e.g. "time of india" mozilla firefox browser converted this search string to website name i.e. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/. But after getting version 11.0 this feature do not works anymore.

Can you suggest and solution or setting for this?

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":

Google "Browse by Name":
