When I type phrases that contain spaces into the search bar, it brings up a google search as specified by my about:config under keyword.URL

However, when I type anything that *does not* contain a space (e.g. potatoes), firefox tries to connect to http://potatoes/, returning a "cannot establish connection to server at potatoes"

my keyword.URL is set to: http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q= browser.fixup.alternate.enabled is *false* browser.urlbar.autocomplete.enabled is *true* (though I don't think this has anything to do with it)

hello jywang74, please update to firefox version 33.0.2 - there you'll see a different behaviour (keyword.url is no longer used btw, the address bar uses the same search provider as set in the searchbar).
