To enable Google Suggest in the location bar, first go into about:config and enter google.suggest into the filter. Change the setting google.suggest.useForLocationBar to true and copy the value from google.suggest.serviceURL.search to google.suggest.serviceURL.location. To copy the value, right click on google.suggest.serviceURL.search, and select Modify.
Now restart Firefox and you can start using the Google Suggest service with the I’m Feeling Lucky feature that you’d normally find when searching from the location bar. Enjoy!!
The problem with this ‘hack‘, and probably the reason why Google has disabled it by default is that it interferes with the history drop down in the location bar. So use with caution.
