Firefox Keyword Google search

The Keyword field in Firefox Bookmarks can be used to create shortcuts and smart searches. For some reason, sometimes if you define a new keyword, the latest keyword will be deleted. Keeping track of your keywords is hard though, since there isn't a way to list all keywords in use...

Change Firefox default search engine behaviour in the location bar

If you type some keywords in the address bar (also known as location bar) in Firefox and press enter, it will perform a search for these words.

To change search engine, or configure the behaviour, type about:config in the location bar, and search for keyword.URL, update to match your needs.

Just go to the Google result page:
