This has been going on for a little while but I never really bothered to mention it until now, but my addressbar is just a search bar. I mean, if I type a url correctly (www.minecraftforum.net) it will just search that in google, not take me there. I just updated to the latest version and its still like that. What gives?

There is a way that I found on an article, but I can't seem to find it.
In the address bar, type in about:config. Once you've selected "I'll be careful, I promise!", search for "keyword.enabled". Double click it to make it false. You're done.
Although this will work, I'd advise that you change it so that it uses Google's "I'm Feeling Lucky". This directs you to the first result that you searched for on Google. To do this, go ahead and make keyword.enabled true by double clicking it, if you've made it false already. If not, then look for keyword.url. Once you've found it, double click it and change the URL to this:
Firefox by default still shows both the address and search bar. They have not combined them.
Try this (Orig said by treeco123, but I'm expanding) :
Right click on any open space in the toolbar at the top. Then, there should be an option to click "Customize". Once there, see if you can find the item called "Location". If you see it, click and drag it ton the toolbar at the top next to the search bar.
If you do not see the Location option, could you please provide a screenshot of what you see.

Broodlords are like bacon: way too many is almost enough.
No, I actually type an address in and it just searches it. It's one whole bar not two seperate ones.

If so what ones.
It's a default thing in firefox now and there seems no option to stop it.
Nope, still works fine with FF13. What addons are you two using that might be causing this?
None, two installs on two different computers and it does that, one having no addons at all.
However it does read URLs properly on both of mine.
There must be something you two are doing or have set up outside the norm.

Also Firefox. I've been trying to figure out which of my AddOns is doing if for some time now, with no success.
Also check me out on:
WordPress, Etsy, and Spore.
Haven't touched the settings, have you tried putting in something like "hello" in the URL bar and pressing enter?
It lets you search things now yes.
But if i put in www.youtube.com it comes to that website.
Just curious, but could you provide a screenshot of what you see?
Firefox has used the URL bar as a search since at LEAST 3.2, but if you put .anything at the end it treats it like a URL, not a search term.
Just after I pressed enter
End page
Well I haven't noticed it till recently.
Okay, I don't know why that is happening then.
That's normal. Firefox's address bar also functions as a search bar if it thinks you aren't putting in a URL.
