[Bug 270000] Re: Can't use OpenDNS and retain Awesome Bar functionality

[Robster]

I came across an issue with this and discovered that, the way firefox
decides whether what you are typing is a search term or a URL is by
querying the DNS server (usually your ISP). If the DNS server returns a
result for what you typed Firefox loads it as a URL. If the DNS does not
return a result, Firefox assumes its a search and queries Google (or
whatever search engine you specify in about: config keyword.url)

I came came across this because I tried typing "ubuntu" and Firefox
tried to load it as a URL.
