Avoid a string to be treated as protocol in url bar
I use url bar to search with google and other engines. If I want to use the "site:" string to search keyword in only one site firefox tells me that protocol (site) is not associated I just want use google, firefox should not interfere. How to do that?

You can also use a keyword search to avoid delays with trying a look up with a one word search via the location bar.
I use a simple "g" to search with Google.
That is easier than adding quotes for me.
You can either create a keyword bookmark or add a keyword to a search engine via the search bar settings
- Right click search engine icon on search bar
- Open Manage Search Engines
- click Edit Keyword

Placing site: first in the location bar will get you that error. Alternatives are:
- place entire search string in quotations (i.e., "site:mozilla.org download firefox")
- place site: later in the search string without quotations (i.e., download firefox site:mozilla.org)
I generally use quotation marks when including site: as in the first example.
