Hi, when you enter into the Address bar, something that has elements of a domain about it, Firefox tries to go to it. If you want to do a search for something of that type, you should use the Search box.

Chrome obviously interprets things slightly differently.

If your question is resolved by this or another answer, please take a minute to let us know. Thank you!

But I think the way chrome uses would be fast and easy for me. I can reduce the time for choosing urlbar or searchbox and can make Firefox UI more simply.
