If your caret is not in the search field, you may want to send couple of tabs to get it there. For example {Tab 2} sends two tab presses.
Type: Command

Code: Select all

Run, http://www.google.com
Send, {Tab 2}

The second line is Send, {Tab 2}, not Run.

I would like to help but I have no idea what is the issue. The command simply runs the default browser and opens a Google page like you would open it manually:

Module: Text Expander
String: qq
Type: Open

Code: Select all

http://www.google.com
After typing "qq", Google opens in my default browser, the caret is in the search field so I can type right away. If this is not working for you than I have no further ideas.

I'm also using Firefox, tried many times with no issue. Not sure what's going on on your side.
