I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 and Firefox 3.6.3. If I type wrong URL like youtube, it won't redirect me to the correct site. Instead the address would be jar:file:///usr/lib/firefox-3.6.3/chrome/en-US.jar!/locale/browser-region/region.propertiesyoutube and Firefox can't find any page.

I can't "comment" yet so posting this as a suppliment to evowinds post in which he is asking you to modify the firefox configuration file. Here are the instructions on how to make edits: http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config
Basically he is asking you to:
- Open firefox
- In the URL bar type in "about:config" where you would normally put something like http://www.superuser.com
- Find the key value CT1896539.SearchFromAddressBarUrl
- Change the value for this key to TRUE.

Yup and now I can upvote posts to so i gave you credit where it was due :D May 7, 2010 at 11:43
Ubuntu made a search engine deal with Yahoo in 10.4 LTS release. Of course some settings may be changed.
In about:config page; CT1896539.SearchFromAddressBarIsInit value is True or False? If "False", then change it to "True" maybe it helps. Also then try below. CT1896539.SearchFromAddressBarUrl;http://search.conduit.com/ResultsExt.aspx?ctid=CT1896539&SearchSource=2&q=

The value is true and I FF can find the site search.conduit.com/… . However, CT1896539.SearchFromAddressBarUrl;search.conduit.com/… says that the URL is not valid and can't be loaded.– JaakkoMay 7, 2010 at 9:09

No, no...This link is not a real link. It is also "about:config" setting. "CT1896539.SearchFromAddressBarUrl" is the key and "search.conduit.com/…" is the value, OK?– evowindsMay 7, 2010 at 10:35
