What happens if you use the first option ?

I remember reading about a change with browser settings and a user notification but was not aware it is in Firefox 18, I will check


P.S it will be a change this week when Firefox 19 is released
Bug 718088 - offer to re-set keyword.URL if it has a non-default value
