I often type keywords directly in Firefox's address bar in order to search Google. Sometimes Firefox attempts to add "www" and ".com" to these keywords and visit the resulting URL. This almost always fails. Is there any way to prevent this behavior and ensure that only Google searches are made?
1 Answer
- Type
about:config
in the address bar - Click "I'll be careful"
- Search for
browser.urlbar.autoFill
- Right click
browser.urlbar.autoFill
- click Toggle
You may need to do the same for browser.urlbar.autocomplete.enabled
.

Thanks, but doesn't seem to work. FF attempted again to wrap my keyword with "www" and ".com"– drake035Feb 20, 2016 at 22:21
