This feature was actually taken from Galeon (the Gecko based GNOME 
browser which brought us the cool tabs).  It brought up a pop-up box so 
by clicking on a bookmark you got the pop-up rather than having to go to 
the status bar a type...

That said Mozilla has a great shortcut that works with these bookmarks, 
Ctrl + L which brings the focus to the address bar,
e.g.  Ctrl + L then  goo  edlug rules

For real effeciency why not just use "g "?

Alternatively install QLookup ( qlookup.mozdev.org ), a nice little hack 
that lets you highlight a word, right click and then search google or 
dictionary.com for it (or the built in Mozilla option to search your 
default search engine)...
