If you are not feeling lucky, you can change it to perform normal search by changing config entries.

Open Configuration editor by typing about:config in a new tab. Go to the key keyword.URL, and change its value to the following

http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=0&q=
