About comment 18. I wrote it.
Mmmh, seems this not the same problem, because the problem problem discribed in comment 18 doesn't affect Firefox 5, 9, 10, 18.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

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.
