Winamps toolbar enabled a winamp auto search when typing words into my address bar. I disabled that with instructions from the internet but can't figure out how to re-enable the google feature. I realize there is a google search bar right there, however, I am stuck in my ways. Please help to to figure this out.

To rstore teh "Browse by name" feature used in earlier versions of Firefox do this:

  1. Type about:config into the location bar and press enter
  2. Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
  3. Locate the preference keyword.enabled, it needs to be set to true, if it is not, double-click on i to change its value
