Comment:

 This is fixed by setting keyword.URL to
 https://startpage.com/do/search?q=. However, I can't figure out why
 Marsh's suggested pref changes don't allow me to search with a single word
 without a space (ie dogs). For my TBB, regardless of what I set for those
 prefs, that always results in an attempted SOCKS connection instead of a
 startpage query. I created bug #6503 for that issue.
