developing on localhost is painful, because once you type in a url and push enter - to refresh / reload the page browser assumes the url which starts with "localhost/..." will do a google search instead of trying to reload the page.

My husband has requested I submit this for him. Let me know if you have questions. Thanks!  -Andrea
No bug report without a version number....

A google search can be a result of a webserver that rejects the connection or if your URL contains a space.
You can disable the keyword search in that case :

Thanks for your help, Matthias, he found he did have a space. :)
Version: unspecified → 18 Branch
A space in the URL is bug 690307
instead of disabling the keyword search you can also disable the URL trim (removing the protocol in the front) :
browser.urlbar.trimURLs in about:config
