O.P. Firefox Search problem
Hi guys

YEsterday i did  a reinstall of Firefox (installed from scratch) but now the "I'm feeling Lucky" search functionality of the address bar doesn't seem to be working 100%.

Previously if i type msghelp in the address bar it will use Google to search and automatically take me to shoutbox.menthix.net. Now, after the reinstall, it appears to be going my default to a .com address for whatever item i search for. So msghelp ends up going to www.msghelp.com. This is happening with every domain name that doesn't end in .com. Additionally previously i could use phrases like ebay uk to go to the eBay UK page (instead of typing the full www.eBay.co.uk URL), now however it gives me the following message:

I remember having this problem previously after installing Firefox, but can't remember how i fixed it. It's not a problem with Google or something as this still works fine on Firefox on our other computer.

Any ideas how to correct this?

Cheers,
~Salem(@)
