I have a problem like this in my version of FF for Mac If I do a search for just one word, like "house" in the address bar I fall into a dns error pages of my web server. If I try to search for two words, it looks perfectly in google. This has bothered me a lot and it does not happen in the Windows version. I'm almost moving to safari or chrome pro because this bummer.

I tryed instal keyword Search but the problem persists.

Hi YanMetal,

I am sorry to hear that you are having problems with your Firefox 23. From what I understand, whenever you do a search using the address bar, you are being redirected to a DNS error page.

Please try updating your browser to the latest version (currently version 25). What are the results? Do you still have problems searching using the address bar?

For instructions on how to update your Firefox browser, please see the following article:

Please let us know if this solves your problem. We hope to be of assistance, and look forward to hearing back from you.

Thanks!!
