I cannot use an autoconfig file, I would need to deploy one somewhere on the Internet and explain over the phone to my family members how to install it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/263505 Title: Wishlist: add "use input as a search term" to "address not found" page Status in Mozilla Firefox: Fix Released Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Binary package hint: firefox Altogether too often when I get the "Address Not Found" page, it is because I expected too much from the Wonderful Bar or whatever it's called.

My use case is helping family members troubleshot their Internet problems, and that often involve a phone call to them to debug it live over voice (especially these days during self-isolation). Currently, I can ask them to connect to the LAN-only portal hosted on their ISP box to see if the issue is between their computer and that box, or between the box and the rest of the world. Those boxes often make available their settings over unfortunate non-existing TLDs such as ".ip", and now I also have to tell them to go edit scary settings through about:config and whatnot, that seems *really* unfortunate and user-hostile. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/263505 Title: Wishlist: add "use input as a search term" to "address not found" page Status in Mozilla Firefox: Fix Released Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Binary package hint: firefox Altogether too often when I get the "Address Not Found" page, it is because I expected too much from the Wonderful Bar or whatever it's called.

So what is blocking this exactly? Why can't we get this fixed? What should I do to get this fixed?

:Gijs I don't understand what you mean about a pref on Windows if we only change this "on only some platforms", given that platform would be macOS where that behaviour is the odd one.
