I haven't tested, but I think that if you change http://www.google.com/search with

you could have your preferred behaviour hardcoded.

Maybe that would work, but it shouldn't be necessary.

Please don't get me wrong -no personal attack intended, really- but changing browser too shouldn't be necessary. You continue to complain about this (admittedly very minor, even if annoying) bug and instead of using just a very simple workaround, you throw out babies and dirty water, saying "it shouldn't be necessary". You have a solution, probably working, that is much easier than changing browser, importing preferences and the like. Why don't you try?

Do as you like it, but it seems to me quite an odd reaction. Next time you'll meet a bug in Linux or Gentoo that would just require editing a text file, you'll change OS?
:)

The really appropriate reaction, in the meantime, is filing a bug (because in this you're perfectly right -it's a bug, or at least an annoyance) at the firefox bugzilla, I guess. You're right to complain, that's for sure.

Please don't bother about this. Changing browser is not a
life-shattering experience,

Sure, but editing a tiny text file seems even less life-shattering, IMHO.

and both Opera and Konqueror seem nice
enough.

They are good software indeed, just like FF. But what will you do when you'll met the next bug with them?

It's not like I want to defend FF. It isn't perfect, and I really don't care about what browser are you using. It's the approach that leaves me perplexed.

Still, without any animosity. Your complain led me also discover something, so it was useful. :)
