how do I stop from being redirected to search engine sites when i type, for instance, 'gmail' or 'wikipedia' in the address bar and instead go straight to the site?
On some computers using firefox, typing the name of a popular site (e.g. gmail) in the address bar will take me straight there, on others it takes me to a search engine with results of searching that name. I would rather go straight to the site. What setting determines this?
This happened
Every time Firefox opened

The difference can be a Google Lucky search
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Location_Bar_search and http://kb.mozillazine.org/Keyword%2eURL (pref: keyword~46~URL)
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the Enter key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.
