    Does This Happen To You While Using Firefox?

    I open up a new tab, type in "sex" in the location bar (with no .com or any other TLD extension), it lags for a while, and then brings up this page...

    http://www.hbo.com/city/

    I type in "health", it lags for a while, then brings up...

    http://www.healthfinder.gov/

    I never noticed this feature before. Is this feature standard with all versions of Firefox?

          Actually, I think it does the same thing as feeling lucky on google. Takes to you to the first result of that key phrase search.

            I've never bothered to type a word into the location bar without a TLD extension. So this is a standard feature in all versions of firefox?

              yep

              yes it does it on mine and i also learned a new feature i figured maybe pushing the center scroll wheel button might open a new tab since doing it on links opens it in a new tab yet when i tested my theory it closed the tab i did it on.
