Read about the "about:config" preference "browser.urlbar.matchBehavior": 
http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.urlbar.matchBehavior

It's possible to configure this to be less annoying, but sadly, as 
you've said, the old behavior is gone until a mozilla hacker creates an 
extension for it. (It will probably become the most popular extension in 
history).

BTW, as you, I lament that Mozilla development is driven by programmers 
rather than by marketers.
