Doesn't work. But a little research turned up the reason for it. It's a bug. It seems that if you open up Mozilla with the History tab foremost, it attempts to execute a "find:" command (similar to other commands like, "about:" and such). This fails, so it converts this to a URL: www.find.com. This redirects to find.idealab.com. I saw that someone posted a link to the fix, but the link was stale, so I don't know what the fix is.
