Firefox 3 and IE, searched anything put in the search box. My 4 does not do that 4, instead it asks for a URL. I now have to use the google search box. It is so annoying that after years of Firefox, I now have to use IE

Mozilla removed this feature in version 3.6 and 4. To get it back, install this restartless addon: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/browse-by-name/

This is exactly what I want, however when I hit the download button it asks what program I want to open it with. I have no idea what program will open that type of file.

If you left click the Download button then Firefox should offer to install that extension.

For an alternative way to achieve this you can use this method:

You can modify the pref keyword.URL on the about:config page to use Google's "I'm Feeling Lucky" or Google's "Browse By Name".

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.

You should be able to click the "Add to Firefox" button and a dialog box then appears asking you for permission to install the addon. Click "allow" then in the next dialog box click "install". Check out the screenshots below for reference.
