Is it possible to get the plain google page loaded when one does an Enter from the google search box instead of the cooked firefox google page.  I just don't like getting something that looks different, for no purpose.

Yes, although you have to modify the plugin itself (clicking enter in an empty searchbox goes to a different url than when you type some characters, so that you go to the advanced section for example)

- in Explorer, go to C:\Program Files\Firefox\searchplugins
- edit google.xml (right-click on the file, and choos edit)
- at the end, you'll find :
    <SearchForm>http://www.google.com/firefox</SearchForm>
- change that to :
    <SearchForm>http://www.google.com/</SearchForm>
- save the file
- restart Firefox
