I frequently type search terms into the address bar and (in spite of being a
Mozilla user for years) instinctively hit return.
Naturally this brings up the dialogue "the URL is invalid and cannot be loaded"
- which is dismissed by clicking "OK". It would save time and weltschmerz if the
search button appeared in this dialogue as an alternative to "OK" - then I could
smoothly proceed to doing the search that I had intended to do in the first place.
I doubt I'm the only one in the world, I suspect its a bug in Homo Sapiens OS.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Type search terms into address bar
2.Hit return
3.Slap forehead while exclaming "DOH!"

Actual Results:  
Mozilla functioned as designed - I just have a suggestion for tweeking the
design to make the "user experience" smoother.
