wildcards

In Firefox, how do I set up URL shortcuts that include a wildcard, %s? I have definitely set this up before on another computer.

For example, if I wanted to view a Jira ticket, I would enter jira XXX-1234 into the address bar and it would take me to http://jira.sutureself.com:1234/browse/XXX-1234. I remember the entry added to Firefox would be http://jira.sutureself.com:1234/browse/%s, but I can't remember where I add that.

EDIT

I might add, I have done this without any additional addons.
