Firefox question

baby_frogmella

Hi

I am using Firefox 2.0.0.1 and normally when i type in something like "bbc news" (for example) in the address bar, it takes me straight to bbc.co.uk/news. Similarly typing "gmail" takes me to https://www.gmail.com and "bbc football" to bbc.co.uk/football. Now recently this has stopped working and if for example i type in "bbc news", firefox will take me to http://www.finderactive.com/find.php?q=bbc+news where "bbc news" will be googled...any idea on how i can get this working again? i have ran firefox in safe mode, reset all settings, even re-installed firefox but to no avail.

Any help would be appreciated
Cheers

This uses Google's I'm Feeling Lucky feature which goes to the first site in the search results.
