I have set up my Windows development system with VMWare Workstation to host a Linux server on which I edit test sites. I have assigned the domain "vm" to that virtual machine's IP address, so that any subdomain resolves to my virtual machine's servers.
The problem: When I type only "project.vm" in Firefox, Firefox does not recognize the ".vm" as a TLD, and it forwards my submission to the default search engine. Normally, I appreciate this feature, but what I would really like is to add ".vm" to the list of TLDs that Firefox ignores for searching, and just resolve the domain like it would a ".com".
Is there a setting in Firefox I can set that will let me use .vm domains for my virtual machine without entering "http://" in front, that still retains for all other submissions the ability to forward to my default search?

I guess this is used for something else, no? http://kb.mozillazine.org/Network.IDN.whitelist.*
