HOWTO : Securely search from the address bar in Firefox (without addons)

1. browse to about:config
2. search for keyword
3. set "keyword.enabled" to true
4. set "keyword.URL" to https://encrypted.google.com/search?&q=
5. search for "browser.fixup.alternate.enabled", set to false

You are now searching from the address bar in Firefox securely over https/ssl.

ps. you can toggled from true to false (etc) by simply double clicking the entry.

I use opendns, for some reason 1 word searches = opendns search, two word searches = google.
