One of the things I like about google chrome is the omnibar: i can search within a website directly from the bar. For example, I can type amazon.com<TAB> and then I can directly search. This also works for many of my company's internal websites. Can firefox do that?

Not sure what's built in, but you can definitely make it do that by right-clicking on a search box and making a shortcut. I have 'wp' for wikipedia, 'yt' for youtube, etc.
Firefox's keywords are really nice in general. If you bookmark a URL, replace a parameter in the URL with %s and assign the bookmark a keyword, you can use the keyword with an argument to replace the parameter.
