In my case, but the problem may be different.
On Windows 7 64 bits French.
With proxy.
Open Firefox.
When enter one word in the search bar.
Search is doing, you can see this on the tab. No results appear. And the windows for login/password for proxy didn't appear.
Saw this problem many times with Firefox 28.0, but haven't seen yet with the newest version.

This problem can be solved temporarily by deleting the Firefox directory
in C:\Users\xxx\AppData\local\, maybe the cache directory. Deleting
cache with the Firefox menu is not enough.

Title:
  Firefox address bar search displays proxy error page for single word
  queries

Status in The Mozilla Firefox Browser:
  Confirmed
Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  The problems transpire when searching for single words using the
  address bar in Firefox.

  When I have Firefox proxy settings set to "Auto Detect" this feature works fine.
  (Q: is the proxy being used then?)

  When explicitly setting the proxy settings in Firefox this fails sending me to http://query/ (displaying the proxy's error page).
  It also fails, when configuring the proxy via PAC file (last option in the settings).

  
  (Initially reported for version 2.0.0.1+0dfsg-0ubuntu0.6.10 under edgy)

  TEST CASE (from comment #7):
  1. Add proxy to Firefox conntections.
      - Tools > Options > Advanced > Network.
      - Click Settings under Connections.
      - Select Manual proxy configuration and enter valid proxy details to use for HTTP.
      - Apply settings.
  2. Enter a search term in Firefox's address bar, e.g. "query", and press enter.

  What happens in this situation is Firefox attempts to reach
  "http://query/";, which of course is non existent.

  What should happen normally is "query" is searched with Google.
