This is most likely related to an install of Yahoo IM modifying Firefox settings, rather than being a Mozilla/Firefox-specific bug.

The preference in question is the keyword search-related "keyword.URL". The default (and thereby a "correct") setting is: http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q=

Aw crud. Should probably be resolved as INVALID.

It's not firefox's bug and can not be reproduced.
So, close it as INVALID.
