Have you tried typing 'form/multipart' into your firefox url bar? I expect a google search - what I get is a redirect to `https://form.com/multipart` https://fo

  Firefox does that to fix quickly typed domains if they're not found by DNS (it appends .com and tries to load that). It's probably because form/multipart is nearly a functional URL (where "form" is the hostname, which could very well be resolved in corporate networks or through a hosts file, for example). If you want to be sure you're executing a search, either use a keyword for Google or start your query with a question mark. A quick way to execute a search is to hit control+k, which puts focus to the URL bar and prepopulates it with "? " so that whatever you type after it is executed as a search. I actually dislike it when Firefox does the opposite for websites like pi.hole or fritz.box. The domain does resolve, but you get redirected to a search page regardless and Firefox put a suggestion to navigate to what you typed. My address bar is not a Google search form, it's an address bar that happens to search on Google when I type something that's not a web address.
