Domain name with a dot and Ctrl+Enter

4

1

When I write superuser in Firefox address bar then pressing the Ctrl+Enter keys, Firefox goes to the superuser.com. But when I write for example math.stackexchange that has a dot in its domain name and then pressing the same keys, Firefox doesn't add .com to the domain name. Is there a way to solve this problem?

The "bug" has already been sent to mozilla: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/954076 but there seem to be no answer...

I think their code just checks if the typed string contains a dot or not to add "www." and ".com".

You can just disable this option in http://about:config or change the prefix/suffix with the browser.fixup... parameters
