Some Firefox installations behave as described in the question. To obtain this behaviour, navigate to "about:config". In the "Filter" pane type "keyword". Double click "keyword.URL" and change the value to http://www.Google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q=
Other users report that Firefox usually returns anything typed in the address bar as a Google search result or taking you to the webpage. Perhaps you misspelled the word. You might also want to compare the versions of Firefox you have. Other than that, there is no reason why your laptop can't do that.
You can also add a keyword to your bookmarks: Rightclick a bookmark choose edit (or something like that, I'm not using an English firefox) and set a keyword. When you now type this keyword in your adressbar and hit enter, FF will send you directly to that page.
You can hold the Ctrl key when you press enter and FireFox will add www. to the front and .com/org/ca to the end. Also holding Alt will open in a new tab.

That's because IE renders things differently (wrong) than standards-compliant browsers like Firefox, Safari, Opera, Chrome, or Konqueror. You need to either: A.) Use code that both IE and the others know how to render. B.) Make a separate version of the page for IE. C.) Make the page for IE only and ignore the others (sadly this happens way too often).
