Firefox's "I'm Feeling Lucky"

And no, a + doesn't work.

Here's a way to restore Google's "I'm feeling Lucky" as the default search option:

1. Open a new tab in Firefox 2.x.
2. In the address bar, type "about:config" (without the quotes) then press Enter.
3. In the *Filter* field, type "keyword".
4. Locate the option *keyword.enabled* and set its value to "true" by double-clicking on it.
4. Locate the option *keyword.URL* and double-click on it.
5. In the input box, replace the old value by this new URL:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&b...eling+Lucky&q=
6.Press Enter to finish.

Now if you type "wikipedia final fantasy" in the address bar, you should get the page you want !

Jam it back in, in the dark.
