When you type a keyword into the Location Bar, Firefox takes you to the top Google result for that search by default. However, by modifying the preference called keyword.URL, you can change this behaviour. Here are a few example values:

http://www.google.com/search?btnI=I%27m+Feeling+Lucky&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=
Google's "I'm Feeling Lucky" (default)
http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q=
Google "Browse by Name" (Automatically takes you to sites with a clear match, else performs a Google search)
http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=
Google Search (Google search results page)

For more advanced search capabilities, you may want to look into keyword searches and the Search Bar.
